The main location of the Amsterdam Museum is housed in a beautiful historic building in the heart of the city on Kalverstraat: the former Civic Orphanage. This site is currently undergoing renovation, with the reopening of the restored main location on Kalverstraat scheduled for 2028. In the meantime, the city museum is temporarily located on the Amstel, at Amstel 51.

Until 1 June 2025, visitors can explore three exhibitions. Stop by for the experimental transhistorical collection presentation Panorama Amsterdam: A Living History of the City (designed by Studio LA, featuring works by Rembrandt, Jacob van Ruisdael, Thérèse Schwartze, George Breitner, Raquel van Haver, Iris Kensmil, Natasja Kensmil, Brian Elstak, Kathe Burckhardt, and Hans Broek).

You can also visit the exhibitions Women of Amsterdam – An Ode and (Un)Homeless in the City.

From 11 July 2025, these three exhibitions will make way for a new edition of Refresh Amsterdam – a large-scale art manifestation organised biennially by the Amsterdam Museum in collaboration with various partners.
