Dutch Resistance Museum
Museum showing what Amsterdam and Holland were like during Nazi occupation. Has a very nice children's section. If you are visiting with kids and want to go to a museum about the Second World War in the Netherlands this is definitely recommended.
Founded as an outpost of the Hermitage in St Petersburg, ties were severed with the parent institution following Russia's war in Ukraine. After a hasty rebrand, the H'ART museum reopened in April 2022 with a focus on Dutch heritage in Amsterdam.
