Did not originally intend to visit the Hermitage Amsterdam however this was made possible during a visit to the Van Gogh Museum which was temporarily located here in April 2013. The current exhibit on Peter the Great turned out to be a very pleasant surprise, and felt this would still have been worth a separate visit now that the Van... More

We found this museum lacking in information and the set up did not progress well between eras. A lot of walking but lacking information.

This is an up and coming attraction. Right now it is focussing on the story of Peter the Great but there is still half of the building they are developing and preparing for more art. Just a phenomenal setting. Holds great promise!

For someone who knows nothing about the great Tsar, the Peter the Great exhibition manages to provide digestible bite-size information that is truly awe-inspiring! I learnt quite a bit of this wonderful-in fact, one of the most important if not the most important-personality in Russian history. Easy-to-find location and large and clean place is Hermitage Amsterdam without the crazy tourist... More

Perhaps the best laid out tour of any museum I have been in. No audio needed. A chronological mix of artifact/painting/history lesson, in context, of the connections between Russia and Netherlands. Truly a great education experience with large lettering in Dutch and English.

The Peter the Great exhibition was fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The museum itself is also wonderful. The bathrooms are clean. The restaurant serves great food. The staff is friendly. I had no problems getting around with a stroller. Note: the symbol for the changing room is a pictogram of a baby lying down... though the windowsill in the... More

Peter the Great exhibition was playing during our visit. Greatly enjoyed our visit to this well-planned museum. As a bonus, the musem was not crowded like our visits to the Van Gogh or the Rijksmuseum. For further informatio, visit the museum's website at: http://www.hermitage.nl/en/

The "Peter the Great" exhibit was on display in this well planned space with minimal crowds. Excellent art, narration and displays made for a truly exceptional experience. I really felt like I learned something here, even more than at other Amsterdam museums.

Visited the Hermitage museum in Amsterdam in April. Had a magnificent display of Peter the Great, tsar of Russia. He initiated the layout of the city of St. Petersburg based on the layout of Amsterdam. There was also a wonderful section on the paintings and sketches of Vincent Van Gogh, along with original letters he wrote to his brother and... More

We purchased our tickets from our hotel...it was our last day and we had an evening flight so this was a perfect choice to spend a few hours. We walked from our hotel, The Ambassade, thru the flower market and it took about 20 minutes. The Peter the Great exhibition was very interesting illustrating the Amsterdam connection with Peter the... More
