Museumkaart

The Museum card (Dutch: "Museumkaart") is a card that allows free entrance to a number of museums around the Netherlands. As of 2014, the card itself costs €54.95 (excluding €4.95 administrative expenses), and is valid for one year. A discounted card is available for under 19s, and costs €27,50 (excluding €4.95 administrative expenses).

The Museumkaart is available to buy at many of the participating museums below. It is by far the best value way to get into many of the museums in Amsterdam . It is noteworthy that the main web page of the Museumkaart is available in Dutch only and it does not provide any translation (see http://www.museumkaart.nl/ ).
