Cheese Museum: cheese between presentation and tasting

The Amsterdam Cheese Museum on the Prinsengracht combines a presentation on Dutch cheese culture with a shop. Free admission and tasting are mentioned in what is offered.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking at a familiar product

Cheese is familiar, but a museum section can add explanations about how it is made and used. Ask which subjects the current presentation covers, without assuming an extensive permanent collection.

Tasting as an addition

A chance to taste offers a different way in from looking and reading. Ask which cheeses are available and put questions about ingredients directly to the staff if your visit requires it.

Shop and museum section

The combination with sales partly determines the form of the visit. Decide how much time you want to spend on the presentation and ask where the museum section begins, especially if you are coming specifically for it.

Before you go

The website gives conflicting opening hours. So confirm the current times, especially for a visit early in the morning or later in the evening.
