The stately building on the Amstel, now H’ART Museum, began in 1683 with the design by city architect Hans Jansz. Van Petersom. A 102-meter-long facade formed the ‘Diaconie Oude Vrouwen Huys’, a home for ‘old women’. Behind the same facade, H’ART Museum today shows inspiring, changing exhibitions with international allure. Together with its new partners: Center Pompidou, British Museum and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. This spring, H’ART Museum is celebrating Amsterdam’s anniversary with ‘From Rembrandt to Vermeer, Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection’. An exhibition that focuses on the daily life of the 17th century: flaunting your wealth, enhancing your image with a self-portrait, growing old wrinkled, wearing the right clothes, enjoying food, drink and making music.
Opened daily from 10:00 – 17:00
