Amsterdam has no shortage of important cultural institutions, from the Rijksmuseum with its Vermeers and Rembrandts to the Van Gogh Museum, filled with works by the celebrated Dutch artist. But the consequence of all that greatness is endless lines and crowded galleries. So when the queue to the Rembrandt House is too long, or you can’t score a ticket to the Anne Frank House, don’t despair—the city is home to 50-plus museums, many of which are little-known gems that showcase everything from contemporary Dutch photography to the purses of the rich and famous. We’ve rounded up a dozen of our favorites to check out the next time you’re in town. Note: A great time to visit is during Amsterdam’s Museumnacht, or Museum Night, which takes place the first Saturday in November, when more than 40 institutions across the city will stay open from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m.—Jennifer Ceaser
