The rich collection of works of art, objects and archaeological finds brings to life the fortunes of 'Amsterdammers' of days gone by and today. The Amsterdam Museum (formerly Amsterdam Historical Museum) reflects the tolerance, enterprising spirit and individuality of a city that for centuries has attracted people from the four corners of the earth. There is an outdoor café in the historic courtyard.
