HERMITAGE AMSTERDAM

For centuries the building served as a retirement home and hospice, until a change in health care regulations in 2007 meant the facility had to move to a more modern location, freeing the building up for a new use. Be sure to check out the old kitchens downstairs after you visit the exhibits.

The Hermitage Amsterdam has no permanent collections, but rather hosts temporary changing exhibitions. Currently there are two special exhibits on display. The Portrait Gallery of the Golden Age is a co-production of the Amsterdam Museum and the Rijksmuseum, in cooperation with the Hermitage Amsterdam. These amazing 16th and 17th century group portraits offer quite the history lesson as well as being interesting artworks in their own right. This interactive and creative exhibit is currently on view.

The museum is also presenting a special exhibition of the Treasures of the Tsars, a show of Dutch masters from the St Petersburg collection. This special exhibit is on display until May 2018.

Tired of Dutch masters? The new Outsider Art Gallery is worth a visit in its own right. View artworks made by people who are not formally trained as artists. The creativity will surprise and delight you. You can purchase tickets for the Outsider Art Museum here.

The museum’s restaurant has a lovely terrace, making it a nice spot to relax with a drink or bite to eat on sunny days. In inclement weather stay warm indoors. We’d also recommend stopping by Dignita in the Hoftuin on the opposite side for a quiet drink or meal in their garden. The food is really delicious.

The Hermitage lies on the Amstel in the beautiful Plantage neighborhood. Other fantastic places to visit in the area include:

  • Artis Zoo
  • Micropia
  • Hortus Botanical Garden
  • Portuguese Synagogue
  • Cafe Restaurant Plantage
  • Scheepvaart Maritime Museum
  • Cafe Restaurant De Ysbreeker

Enjoy your visit to the Hermitage!
