Opening Exhibition: View on the Canals – December 5
From December 5, the new exhibition View on the Canals can be seen in the Museum of the Canals.
Throughout the centuries, Amsterdam’s canals have inspired artists such as Berckheyde and Breitner. In this group exhibition, held in the year of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary, we aim to show how the canals remain a powerful source of inspiration for contemporary artists. The canals are full of history, but also with less beautiful sides. The artists showcased in this exhibition each offer a different perspective on the canals through paintings, photography, drawings, sculptures, and poetry.
The exhibition can be seen from December 5, 2024 to March 30, 2025 in the Museum of the Canals

Go on a scavenger hunt in the Andriessen Room of the Museum of the Canals. Kids can go on a scavenger hunt through our Andriessen Room in the museum. This room is named after the creator of the murals: Jurriaan Andriessen. Join Benjamin, Jurriaan Andriessen’s dog on a scavenger hunt through this room. As a dachshund, Benjamin is the best at tracking down hidden, small peculiarities. He knows where to find everything in the Andriessen Room. Can you do this too? 🔎
Ask for the scavenger hunt at the desk and start searching! Once you’re done, you can also check the answers here.
