★★★★★6 months agoOne of the most underrated museum in Amsterdam (if you like dark, unhinged stuff!) Explanation sheets provided in English and Dutch. I spent around 1 hour inside, but you could easily spend 2 if you read everything! Easy to reach by metro. It’s inside the faculty (google maps will guide you quite accurately) They don’t take museumkaart but the entry is pretty cheap. They have a small souvenir section if you want to buy a notebook or postcards. Photos aren’t allowed inside

★★★★★3 months agoA must do for medical students. Visited during the week and had no issues finding the museum or getting tickets. The exhibit is very intricate and complete, specially in terms of embriology. I got to see pieces I've never seen before, even in literature. A truly eye-opening exhibit, also in terms of learning the story behind the collectors. Thank you so much for keeping the collection in such a good shape and beautiful display.
