Amsterdam Museum and Museum om de Hoek have started a collaboration to set up a temporary exhibition Collecting the City within the theme 'Collect the city,' where the present and past of Amsterdam take a central place. In the Amsterdam Museum (the Hermitage), there is an overview of members of Museum om de Hoek. Visitors can get all information about the participating museums with a QR code and thereby get an impression of the present and past of the city.
In 2021, the Weekend of Science was visited by young and old alike! Volunteers provided demonstrations and explanations about the technology of combustion engines. All engines could be seen and heard in operation! Our youngest visitors could draw, craft, and explore in the museum!
