Description
I could refer to our tour as a picture book come to life. I'll take you on an adventure packed with emotions and stories, presenting the private and sometimes mysterious community of the Beguines. We will take a peek into the studio and bedroom of the genius painter Rembrandt. Seeing the artist's personal belongings is an exceptional experience. We'll explore the city's first Protestant church with an exhibition outlining Amsterdam's past and future. I'll reveal the mystery of the Towers of the Waag and take you to the room where visitors once paid to see a human autopsy. I'll share a modern-day tale of the decline and amazing revival of Amsterdam's oldest street. And finally, we'll say a tearful farewell at the Weeping Tower.
