5.00An interesting and very informative history of Amsterdam and it's canals. Progressing through the rooms with audio and models showing construction methods . Very clever use of projection in the "doll's house".
Quick bursts of history!

4.00Informative! Great for history lovers who have been asking themselves about how the city came to be. My only downside would be that it could have gone more in depth into some areas of the city's history, some parts were mentioned and moved past it quickly. Was nice to go here after a couple of days getting to know the city and areas.
Definitely worth it! Great history of Amsterdam.
