H'ART Museum (Hermitage Amsterdam)

H'ART Museum, formerly Hermitage Amsterdam, stages changing exhibitions that combine classical and contemporary art. Reviewers describe an interesting collection that is not crowded, and mention a garden that is pleasant on hot summer days.

Recent shows have leaned toward socially engaged themes, including critiques of global commodity and banking industries, alongside sculpture sections. Booking ahead is recommended, and about 90 minutes suits most visitors.

It is a calmer alternative to the headline museums, convenient for a morning or early-afternoon visit in the centre.
