One of the best museums I've ever visited and as a museum nerd I've visited quite a few of them. And it wasn't because it has something extraordinary, but because it is made very convenient and enjoyable in a simple way. The highlight was this cool gadget – an audio guide shaped like a phone. At the beginning you pick your language, and it takes you through the museum. The different sections have chips with numbers; you just tap on them and it explains what you're seeing. It's like a personal tour at your own pace – best of both worlds! The staff were also amazing, very chill but at the same time very kind and genuinely happy to help (definitely the best staff from all the places in Amsterdam that I've visited). Aslo the content in the museum was very informative and it made me aware of a lot of things i didn't know about the cannabis plant, especially about hemp. This museum definitely does justice to this precious plant, shifting the narrative from it being a drug for lazy stoned junkies, to its actual value.
