10 Best Museums in Amsterdam, From Quaint Canal Houses to Modern Graffiti Galleries | Condé Nast Traveler
"This impeccably preserved 17th-century canal house still exudes the wealth of its patrician owners, the Van Loons, one of whom co-founded the Dutch East India Company. Expect to see intriguing contemporary photographs and site-specific works strewn across the house. Cocteau operas are performed in the canal-side garden come summertime. Note, this is very much a living house. The Van Loons still reside upstairs, which is off-limits, and artifacts are displayed in a casual, lived-in way. Stop into the carriage house-cum-café post-visit for a slice of some of the best apple pie in town." - Clodagh Kinsella, Jennifer Ceaser
