A small museum in the city centre. Entry through the old coach house, then cross the gardens to the main house. Gardens alone are worth a visit to this merchants house. Unusual for Amsterdam in that the property stretches between two different canalside streets. Adult € 6 in April 2012 More

Was expecting much more than a few room musty rooms in an old house. On the plus side it was only eight euros so worth the short visit. More

It was already nice to be able to peek into a house redone in styles of eras past. What made my experience special was the willingness of the volunteers(?) to take time explaining the place to me personally, even in English!

A passionate esthete has renovated a stunning canal mansion, filled it with antiques, and opened it to the public. It is utterly charming, and the experience made even more pleasant by the volunteers who work there and are so happy to tell about the house. No queue nor big crowd make for a very enjoyable visit.

First off, historic homes are my favorite things to see in any city- so this was a must-do for me. We were slightly confused on the entrance, because our laminated tourist map had it on Herengraght, but the entrance is actually on Keizergraght 633- just down the street- eastward from FOAM. You enter through what was the old carriage house... More
