Historical Museum Description
(Local Name: Historisch Museum) Amsterdams Historical Museum has been housed in the former municipal orphanage on the St Luciensteeg since 1975, when Amsterdam celebrated its 700th anniversary. The name Luciensteeg harks back to the monastery of St Lucia founded in 1414 which, besides a chapel, also had a farm (today restaurant and museum). After the dissolution of the monastery this was the municipal orphanage from 1578 to 1960. Today the restored buildings 1963-1975 surrounding spacious courtyards are set out as a museum which uses modern methods to illustrate the past. The visitor can learn about the constantly changing position of Amsterdam in the country and in the world, the growth of the city and the port
