How the rich people of Amsterdam had lived in the past

During the summer I have managed to visit three high-class canal house museums. One of them is Museum Van Loon and I have already wrote about it in this post - Museums and Museum market.

Another one is Geelvinck Hinlopen Huis a private city palace from 1687. Very nice museum guide guided me through the museum and told me about history and some interesting things in each room. The museum also has nice collection of historic fortepianos from Conservatorium Amsterdam. After the guided tour I was able to admire beautiful garden with the biggest pond in Amsterdam.

The last one was museum Willet Holthuysen at Herengracht. In the museum you can admire several rooms on three floors and beautiful English-style garden. The museum also has large collection of silverware and plates.

I can´t tell which one I like the best, because all of them are beautiful and interesting, so if you are bored of regular museum and you want to experience how it felt to be rich person living in Amsterdam in the past, you should definitely visit these museums.
