The Netherlands Theater Museum is on the Herengracht canal in the center of Amsterdam. Housed in five classic seventeenth-century buildings, the place is just a few minutes walk from the Dam Square.

The objective of the “Theater Instituut Nederland” is to make a significant contribution to the knowledge of, and opinion about, the Dutch theatre culture in an international context.

The Theater Institute provides information, conducts research, and initiates debate in relation to the needs and interests of theater professionals, and their audiences.

Sounds a little dry, but visiting the buildings are worth it for the architecture, as well as acquiring some knowledge of Dutch theater.

Info:
The buildings and the library are open from 11 am until 5 pm weekdays, and on Saturday from 1pm to 5 pm. Admission is 8.50 guilders.
