This museum is a true gem and a must for those who would love to know what Amsterdam's canal houses looked like centuries ago. In this 17th century house, named after the last inhabitant, who left her house with everything in it to the city of Amsterdam in 1889, you can visit a 18th century kitchen, apart from other 18th/19th century rooms. Also the garden, laid out in 18th century style, is worth a visit. Don't miss the art collection from the former 17th century owner of the house, Abraham Willet on the top floor.
