Step into Amsterdam in Motion
Experience Amsterdam’s journey like never before, from a small Amstel village to today’s metropolis and city of tomorrow.
The dynamic story of Amsterdam in 45 minutes
Amsterdam in Motion is an exhibition by the Amsterdam Museum that brings together the history, culture and development of the city.
At the heart of the exhibition is an impressive 200 m² city model. A multimedia presentation projected onto the model takes you through Amsterdam's history, from a small settlement on the Amstel River to the city it is today.
Historical images, photographs and scenes from different periods reveal how Amsterdam – and life in the city – has changed over the centuries.
After the presentation, continue through the exhibition to discover more stories about Amsterdam. Objects from the Amsterdam Museum's collection and a range of themes introduce you to the people, events and developments that have shaped the city, while also looking ahead to Amsterdam's future.
