The museum is in a house that is Tucktaway in one of the neighborhoods of Amsterdam. It takes about an hour for the entire tour, and it is self guided with audio assistive devices. I found the information to three dimensionalize the canals. How and why they were developed and what the current and future challenges will be for the canal system in Amsterdam Cost is about €17

Visited the Canal museum on a rainy day with my 13 year old daughter. Was not as busy as many of the other museums we visited in Amsterdam which was refreshing. It is set in a stunning building with a beautiful garden. We both absolutely loved our visit, especially the interactive displays and innovative journey you are taken on through the history of Amsterdam. Highly recommend.

Informative, bite-size museum that explains how Amsterdam was built. Unusual format for a museum. Money well spent on this museum. Try the quiz in the lobby waiting area before you go on the tour.

What a find! Really informative and immersive history of Amsterdam and its canals. We spent an hour there and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth spending the time and the money. It’s not large but really well thought out with models of houses and canals.

This little museum tells the story of Amsterdam’s canals and its beautiful houses. The museum has some very well done virtual displays, informative videos, and interactive models. This is my third visit to Amsterdam, and I feel as though I learned more in the hour I spent here at this museum, than on other tours previously.

Lovely little museum takes about 1 hour 15 to see everything. Everything is present in a really innovative way. Not a huge amount of information but I really enjoy it. Helpful staff. Do the quiz in the waiting room while you wait.

An essential museum for any visitor to Amsterdam. We were told about this at the Houseboat museum otherwise would have completely missed this. It’s a very informative guided presentation that helps explain the history of the canals and then helps you to machinâtes and find your way around Amsterdam a lot better as a result!

This museum provides a great overview of the city and the canals that made her famous. Visitors are led from one room to the next, covering a variety of topics, to include the history of the building that houses the museum. If you’re at all interested in the history of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and/or canals/inland shipping then you should add this museum to your visit list. Note: visitors are provided an audio guide in a variety of languages, so language barriers are not an issue.

I wanted to try and understand the construction of the canals and the reclamation of land, that allowed Amsterdam to happen. Really interesting tour. It was quiet, I found it so fascinating, I asked if I could go back through for a second time .....

This little museum is great. It's not so much a history of the canals, more the history of Amsterdam through the story of the canals. We learnt so much about the history of the city. The exhibits are all audio visual. The large model house is intricate and beautiful. There are 5 guided rooms. Really recommend this.
