The city as a whole
The scale model offers an overview you do not get on an ordinary walk through the city. See how the presentation depicts the growth of Amsterdam and where you recognise familiar places. The moving images guide you through that bigger story.
Then going deeper
On the upper floor, interactive elements cover topics such as housing, migration and nature. Take time for them after the scale model. These are questions not only about the shape of the city, but also about life within it.
A time slot at Westergas
A time slot is required for the experience. Opening times differ between the start of the week, Thursday and Friday, and the weekend. Use the location on Pazzanistraat; this is a separate venue of the Amsterdam Museum.
Before you go
Book a time slot and check the hours for the weekday you have chosen.
