Amsterdam Museums:
For a fairly small city, Amsterdam has a surprisingly large
number of museums and galleries. There is Rijksmuseum and
the Van Gogh Museum, but modern art is also richly represented
in Amsterdam, with the Stedelijk Museum. In nearby Amstelveen
there is the Cobra museum. There are many galleries as well,
especially in the Spiegelkwartier and in the Jordaan.
If you want to experience more of nature, then the gardens
of the universities and Artis Zoo are the right addresses.
In a nutshell, there are a lot of things to see in Amsterdam.
