Create an artwork at the Museum of the Canals
Join artist Erna Bijl de Vroe to create a paper collage in the period rooms of the Museum of the Canals.
There are a limited number of spots available. Erna’s work is featured in the exhibition ‘Blik op de grachten.’ She creates collages using images from the newspaper Het Parool, resulting in situations that seem to have actually happened, but haven’t. During this event, specially organized for 24-hour Centrum, she will explain everything about this art form. How do you glue cut or torn pieces of paper onto a surface? How do you finish everything neatly? And what types of paper are there? Come join and make your own paper collage.
🪑 There are 10 seats available for collage making. Minimum age: 12+
🖋️ No registration required, free entry
🕰️ From 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM
📰 Materials are provided, but you may also bring your own materials (paper, photos, etc.).
Free city walk from Tassie
Do you want to learn more about Amsterdam after visiting the Grachtenmuseum and explore the city up close? The canals of Amsterdam are full of history and unique stories. The free city walk from Tassie takes you to 16 different locations along the canals. You’ll discover fascinating stories about people, history, art, and architecture.
The tour begins at the Grachtenmuseum and lasts around 2 to 3 hours. During the walk, you will not only learn more about the city, you will also get to know each other a little better. Each story comes with a question for you both to answer.
The canal tour is completely free, and you can walk independently using the Tassie app. Simply download the app, create an account, and unlock your free tour by searching for “Grachtenmuseum.” Reexplore the historic city center and see Amsterdam in a whole new way.

Will you join us on a scavenger hunt?
Go on a scavenger hunt in the Andriessen Room at the Museum of the Canals in Amsterdam. Children can embark on a treasure hunt through our Andriessen Room. This room is named after the creator of the murals: Jurriaan Andriessen. Join the hunt with the help of Benjamin, Jurriaan Andriessen’s dog. As a dachshund, Benjamin is the best at sniffing out hidden, small details. He can find everything in the Andriessen Room. Can you do the same? 🔎
Ask for the treasure hunt at the desk and start searching! Once you’re done, you can also check your answers here.
