Stadsarchief Amsterdam

Located in the monumental De Bazel building, in the heart of Amsterdam, the Amsterdam City Archives is the largest – and many say the most beautiful – city archive in the world. The archive welcomes everyone to delve into the city’s rich history. All archives show how today’s city was made in the past by organizing intriguing activities (guided tours, arranged in advance), temporary & permanent exhibitions. Permanent: The Treasure Room. Find out about Anne Frank, Rembrandt or Johan Cruyff and their times. In the cozy areas are showcases and also filing cabinets with documents, archaeological artifects and photo's. A visit brings you very close to the people who witnessed crucial moments in the history of Amsterdam. Historical films about Amsterdam are daily shown in our movie theatre - free entrance.
