I assume we would never have made it to Van Loon Museum if it wasn't for the Amsterdam museum card. Eventually it turned out to be a really interesting spot with some insight into the history of a family that was involved in founding of the Dutch East Indian Company. More

We were in the area and had a hour or so before we planned to leave the city so we had a wander along the canal to the van Loon house. We weren't there for very long, it is a large town house of a wealthy old family, and as with most of these places, the most interesting part for... More
