Amsterdam’s inner city is one of the world’s most important historical city centres, because so much of the old buildings still exist. There are 6,917 National Heritage architectural monuments within the Singelgracht in Amsterdam. The major part (more than 6,500) of the monuments in Amsterdam are private houses. Amsterdam was, after all, a trading city in which not emperors or princes, but patricians held the authority. The civilian architecture is therefore prominent: the character of the city is not determined by palaces or churches, but by private houses.
The Rijksmsueum Amsterdam, set in its historic home designed by P.J.H. Cuypers, houses the largest collection of art and history in the Netherlands.

KIT Kindermuseum makes exhibitions for children aged from six to twelve, within the objectives of KIT Tropenmuseum and KIT as a whole, and has done so for 25 years. The Kindermuseum continually seeks new and improved forms to bring contemporary non-Western cultures to life for every one of its visitors. The Kindermuseum's method, whereby children bring the exhibition to life under expert guidance, and the high quality of the museum as a whole, make it unique in Europe, and perhaps in the world. It is this quality that the Kindermuseum sees as the basis of its existence. It is founded on very thorough preparatory research and the continuous discussion of all elements of the work.
