Workspace rather than set
Look at the furnishings, safety features and entrances, and ask which elements are authentic, reconstructed or added for visitors. Avoid turning people into an attraction.
Sex workers speak
Recorded stories can correct stereotypes and show differences in experience. Note who is speaking, in which period and under which legal circumstances.
Late opening with limits
The museum is open until late and has a minimum age of sixteen. The monumental building has narrow corridors and stairs and is not wheelchair accessible.
Before you go
Daily 11.00–01.00 with last admission at midnight according to I amsterdam; other guides differ, so check the ticket time.
