The Cannabis Museum on the Damstraat in Amsterdam presents cannabis as a cultural and historical subject. The venue is near the Dam and has its own exhibition.

Plan your visit ↗

Defining a subject

A presentation about cannabis can bring together various uses and images. With each item, read which context is meant, so that cultural representations and historical information do not become the same thing without you noticing.

Looking with questions

Ask which period, region or application an item on display deals with. This attention helps to make a broad subject concrete without drawing general conclusions from a single object or text.

The right location

This museum is a different destination from the Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum on the Oudezijds Achterburgwal. Check the name and address if you have a particular programme or ticket in mind.

Before you go

Plan to arrive well before last admission and confirm the current visiting conditions. Use the address Damstraat 6 when booking.
