The joys of renting a houseboat in Amsterdam - SilverKris

"Located on a former cargo ship built in 1914 and moored on the Prinsengracht, this compact museum preserves the living spaces as they were in the 1950s by the original Dutch family who lived aboard. It offers an authentic, intimate glimpse into how wartime cargo vessels were converted into canal homes, showcasing mid‑century layouts, furnishings and daily routines that illustrate the origins of Amsterdam’s houseboat tradition. Ideal for visitors curious about houseboat life but not ready to stay on one, the exhibit combines historical context with the cozy atmosphere of canal living." - Beth Ann Fennelly
