STRAAT Museum + Amsterdam Canal Cruise

History, creativity and innovation, you’ll find it all in Amsterdam

Even in the Golden Age of Amsterdam when its famous UNESCO World Heritage listed canal belt was created, Amsterdam was known for its creative inhabitants, such as Rembrandt van Rijn. And much like the canals, Amsterdam has never lost its creative edge. With this combination ticket you can explore both the history and creativity the Dutch capital has to offer.

The STRAAT Museum is located in the creative epicentre of Amsterdam, north of the river in the former NDSM-wharf. Visiting the museum, after a cruise through the beautiful 17^th century canals, will take straight from the past to the present. Combination tickets like these are the money-savers you are looking for on a city trip!

A museum for street art and graffiti

The STRAAT Museum is unlike any other museum in Amsterdam and yet the art inside has the chance to impact the world just like the art in the Rijksmuseum once did. The works on display rotate frequently, while more art is added to the collection constantly. If you plan your visit carefully, you can even watch how artists create new pieces on the spot.

The art on show was made to be seen at STRAAT and the artists whose work is on display are a representation of the international street art and graffiti movement. The site of the museum fits the art on show perfectly, both inside and out. It is set in an old 8000 m² industrial warehouse, which is as rough and radical as the art on display.

Soak up the sights on an Amsterdam canal cruise

An Amsterdam canal tour is the perfect addition to many attractions and museums in the city, including the STRAAT Museum. During the hour-long cruise, you’ll discover the beautiful canal belt of the ‘Venice of the North’. The Amsterdam canal cruise is truly one of Amsterdam’s highlights, it’s no wonder that the 100km-long canal belt is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Marvel at the three most famous canals of the city, the Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Herengracht, alongside which wealthy spice merchants constructed grand houses during the Dutch Golden Age. You’ll see sights such as the Anne Frank House and the Skinny Bridge on this boat trip. The Amsterdam boat tour is significantly enriched by an audio guide, in 19 languages, packed with fascinating information about the city’s history.
