For us traveling to Amsterdam and admiring its beauty is not complete without knowing the city's 1000 year history, its golden era, the religion's impact, its famous trading company Dutch East India Company and its freedom of thinking. Therefore we decided to visit Amsterdam Museum where we could learn the city's history now, then and its prospect in the future. If you only have an hour up to two hours, Amsterdam Museum is one of the good choices to spend time.
Amsterdam transform from a fishermen village along the banks of the River Amstel into an important city in Europe and as the capital of the Netherland.
