We offer a wide selection of films ranging from theme programmes, classics, archive films, cult films to special children’s programmes.

Anne Frank Museum

Anne Frank House Amsterdam For more than two years Anne Frank and her family lived in the annex of the building at Prinsengracht 263 where Anne’s father, Otto Frank, also had his business. The Van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer hid there with them. The doorway to the annex was concealed behind a moveable bookcase constructed especially for this purpose. The office personnel knew of the hiding place and helped the eight people by supplying them with food and news of the outside world. On August 4, 1944, the hiding place was betrayed. The people in hiding were deported to various concentration camps. Only Otto Frank survived the war. Nowadays, the rooms at the Anne Frank House, though empty, still breathe the atmosphere of that period of time. Quotations from the diary, historical documents, photographs, film images, and original objects that belonged to those in hiding and the helpers illustrate the events that took place here. Anne’s original diary and other notebooks are on display in the museum. In the multimedia space, visitors can go on a “virtual journey” through the Anne Frank House, accessing background information about the people in hiding and World War Two. A contemporary exhibition is presented in the exhibition hall.
Note from the editor During the summer-season many people from all over the world visit the Anne Frank House. This can mean people have to line up before entering the museum. Many visitors seem to be unaware of the fact that from April through August the museum is opened every day from 9 am till 9 p.m. The museum tends to be more quiet during the evening.

Houseboat Museum

Houseboat museum Amsterdam

The Houseboat Museum gives you the unique chance to experience the life on board of a real houseboat. Moreover, this is the only Houseboat Museum in the world!
Unique location on the Prinsengracht canal in the central disctrict Jordaan, provide a fitting background for the museum vessel. The spot is only five minutes walk from the Anne Frank House and it's near to Westerkerk church. On board you can see how this authentic barge was converted to a comfortable houseboat, provided with authentic skipper's quarters with sleeping bunk, sizable livingroom, kitchen and bathroom. You shall be dumbfounded at the space and comfort on board. The vessel on which the houseboatmuseum is reconverted was built in 1914 and bore the name Hendrika Maria ever since. In those days the ship was propelled by sail.

The original vessel was engaged in transporting sand, gravel and coal until the ninteen-sixties. Thereafter the Hendrika Maria was converted into a houseboat in such a way as to maintain the historic outer appearance in being. The vessel has actually been lived in for about twenty years. Even though it is now no longer lived in, it seems though as if the residents just popped out to do the shopping. The houseboat museum is a living museum where one can poke about and sit where one wills. In at least thirteen languages, there is a discriptive booklet with which you can find your own way around the boat.

Jewish Historical Museum

Jewish Historical Museum, Amsterdam The Jewish Historical Museum is the only museum in the Netherlands to focus on Jewish history, religion and culture. The museum is located in a group of four historical Ashkenazi synagogues at the heart of the former Jewish quarter in the centre of Amsterdam. The permanent exhibition features the following themes: the role of religion and tradition, the links with Israel, the persecution of Jews during the Second World War, personal life stories and the mutual influence of Jewish and Dutch culture. Temporary exhibitions at the museum invariably connect in some way to Judaism. In recent years exhibitions have featured work by artists such as Andy Warhol, Jozef Israëls and Marc Chagall. Shows have also featured photography, for example by Sem Presser and Erwin Blumenfeld, as well as surveys of cultural history. And naturally, the children’s exhibition Where Mokum is Home is well worth a visit. Mokum is the Jewish name for Amsterdam. Children, and adults too, are introduced to different aspects of Jewish tradition through interactive presentations, including matzo baking and learning to write Hebrew letters.
Updates: Between 5 January and 20 November 2004 the Great Synagogue is closed for renovation and refurbishment. Throughout this period the permanent displays on Jewish identity, temporary shows and the children’s exhibition remain open. Hollandsche Schouwburg The Jewish Historical Museum manages the Hollandsche Schouwburg. The former theatre was used during the Second World War as a deportation centre for Jews. Today it is a monument to the memory of those who died, featuring an exhibition for school children. Admission is free.

Amsterdam Historical Museum

	Amsterdam Historical Museum The Amsterdam Historical Museum (Amsterdams Historisch Museum) is housed in magnificent buildings, once the city orphanage built in the 15th century and extended in the 17th. Since 1975 the complex has housed the city's historical museum. The main focus is on the city's 17th century golden age, a period when Amsterdam was the richest city in the world, and some of the most interesting exhibits are of the trades that made it rich. There are countless fascinating details about this old city and it's people. The collection consists of paintings, prints, marquettes, objects and archelogical finds and shows how Amsterdam grew from a small medieval town to a world famous centre. The permanent exhibition, which is continually being added to with temporary exhibitions, also has a important selection of porcelain and silver.
Permanent exhibitions are housed around the complex's inner courtyards. Clear signpostings allow the visitor to concentrate on a specific period - The Young City, The Mighty City or The Modern City. Visitors can also take a Grand Tour through Amsterdam's entire history, with a new multimedia map. The museum hosts also temporary exhibitions. The two museum entrances can be accessed from Kalverstraat 92, Sint Luciënsteeg 27 and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 357. The museum is a twelve-minute walk from Amsterdam's Central Station, via Damrak, Dam Square and Kalverstraat.

Nieuwe Kerk

Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam

Adjacent to the Royal Palace is Nieuwe Kerk, a church of the highest order. Akin to the Gothic churches of France, it was built circa 1400 due to the shortage of churches in the city and over the years, many changes have been made. The New Church remarkably managed to escape major damage in 1421 and 1452, the two great fires of Amsterdam, although two centuries later it was reduced to ashes when plumbers accidentally started a fire. The church however has been faithfully restored to its former glory, exhibiting the original early Renaissance style features throughout even though it remains tower-less.
Since 1815, Dutch monarchs and other members of the Royal Family have been officially inaugurated here, including the late Queen Beatrix, Queen Wilhelmina and Queen Juliana. On 2 February 2002, the Prince of Orange and Princess Máxima married in the beautiful church. In between coronations and weddings, the New Church houses art galleries and temporary exhibitions. Inside, admire the elaborate altar, arched nave, great pipe organ, sepulchral monuments and stained-glass windows. But if you want to take pictures, ask permission first. Entrance is free.

Opening times:

Daily from 10.00 am – 6 pm
Thursday 10.00 am – 10 pm
Closed 25 December & 1 January
