Off the beaten track in Amsterdam: Hermitage Amsterdam

The Hermitage Amsterdam is the only European satellite of the famous Hermitage in St Petersburg in Russia. A must see when you visit Amsterdam. The museum is housed in a fascinating old building, Amstelhof, and stages excellent exhibitions.

Until the end of 2016 you will be able to enjoy a spectacular Portrait Gallery of the Golden Age: over thirty very large 17th-century group portraits that can be regarded as the artistic siblings of Rembrandt’s Nightwatch. Due to their enormous proportions the portraits are rarely on view, let alone shown together in a single exhibition. The works come from the collections of the Amsterdam Museum as well as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for planning museum trips in Amsterdam
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2013

I bought this book as a resource in planning an upcoming trip to Amsterdam. Friends who have visited definitely recommended the Hermitage Museum, so I got this ebook to read up on it before I went. I was fascinated to discover that this museum has no permanent collection, but instead rotates top pieces from the St. Petersburg Museum. This book provides the history of the museum, along with some interesting facts and trivia. There are links to helpful resources, such as the museum website, as well as maps that show the location of this and other nearby museums. A handy digital guide that I'm definitely going to use on my upcoming trip. Very helpful!

Who knew there are so many museums in Amsterdam; thanks to this author we now know!
Hermitage Museum has rooms for exhibitions, a concert hall, a library and restaurant. What attracted me to the museum is the open air opera performance. Visuals are beautiful.
