Anne Frank House Museum Amsterdam

 

A very popular museum in Amsterdam is the Anne Frankhuis or Anne Frank House. This is sited at a house on the Prinsengracht canal which contains the annex where Anne Frank and seven others hid during world war two and where she wrote her famous diary. It opened in 1960 and was expanded in 1999.

The museum

The museum opens at 9am daily. Closing times are 10pm during July and August, 9pm in summer and 7pm in winter. The last admittance is 30 minutes before closing time and it takes about 1 hour to get around the exhibition.

It does get very busy so expect long queues - either try to get here early or come late in the evening. Like the Van Gogh museum, if you buy your tickets online you can enter the museum directly without queuing - you can select your date and time.
