Main Entrance

The main entrance is through the museum’s signed street-level doorway in central Amsterdam and serves as the only public entry point for all ticket holders, including those with pre-booked tickets. While the entrance is clearly marked, it is more discreet than Amsterdam’s larger museums, so using a maps app can make it easier to locate. There is a small step at the entrance.
