Holland Experience shows you a 30 minute 3D show about the Netherlands. You will see a film about the country, but you will get no explanation just the impression of pictures and some effects. Although you can get a discount with your Amsterdam pass (I think it was 25% less), 8,50€ for this show is far too much.
If you want to get a good impression about the whole country in 30 minutes, visit Madurodam in den Haag. It's only slightly more expensive (12,00 EUR) but it is far better: You can spend half a day there and the money there is used for caritative purposes. Leave a Comment

 Chagall's Self Portrait
with Seven Fingers. by Paul2001
If you want to have a look for yourself, and consider that what I just said is just one person's opinion and heck I might just have been in a surly mood, then give the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art a try on your own. It's permanent begins with art from the late 19th century and extend into contemporary times and is quite large. It consists of over 100,000 objects. I understand most of it is on display in the summer months of July and August(I visited in September).
Finally if you have actually no interest in Modern Art what so ever then definitely skip this place. This is not a museum that you should tour if you find Modern Art to be intimidating or alienating which unfortunately most people do.
Inspite of what I have said above there are some interesting pieces that could make your visit to the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art worth your time. They include some very good works by Chagall, Picasso and Mondrian.
The museum is located at Paulus Potterstraat 13 in the Museum Quarter.
If you think that you might like to expand your mind and give Modern art a try then visit another one of the great collections in Europe. The Musee National d'Art Moderne in Paris is probably the best I have visited. Leave a Comment

I don't mind modern art, actually I like it more than "old" art, but I think this place is a waste of time and money. Sure, they have a few nice pieces, works by Cezanne, Chagall, Monet and Picasso for example, but too much of the collection is junk that used to be 'trendy' but has lots its value by today's standards. If you must go to a museum, I recommend you to go elsewhere.
Anyway, this place will be temporarily closing for several years soon to undergo some rebuilding. Exhibitions will be held in the Nieuwe Kerk.
(Oh, and guess what? I made the mistake of going here twice! Why I gave this place a second chance is beyond me.)
I've heard the Van Gogh museum is nice. Leave a Comment

 My brother and I by Tallchick80
If you MUST go here, then enjoy the beer and also know there are two camera's located in the museum that are linked together. You can see other people further ahead in the exhibit. You spend about 5 minutes trying to determine if the people you are seeing are real people. It's quite hilarious. My brother and I ended up "playing" hide and go seek with a couple of people at the other camera location. It was fun!
Go drink a Heineken at a pub, it's cheaper! Leave a Comment

The Rijksmuseum is said to draw millions of tourists every year - not bad for a overly expensive museum in which there is about nothing to see. The whole thing is in a huge building near Vondelpark and they make you pay 9 euro to see the collection (pretty steep), and you must wait to enter it because it is too small to contain all the visitors.
There are actually very few rooms, and they are tiny compared to the usual museum standard. That is why all the people cannot stand in it at the same time. It is so overcrowded that you just can't see anything at all without having to suffer people walking past you (and your wallet) all the time, or having to move because other people are waiting for you to let them see the exhibits...
Ah, if only the exhibition itself had been worth the pain.
Nothing interesting actually. The rembrandt paintings are genial, but the environment makes it totally impossible to enjoy seeing them (you have to keep moving, otherwise you're pushed by the other visitors who also want to see some of the stuff too).
Go upstairs at once, get in front of the painting you want to see (there are only two or three of any worth there) and do a bit of territorial pissing maybe.
Go to the Van Gogh museum. Leave a Comment

 Madame Tussauds by barryg23Leave a Comment

This isn't a tourist trap per se, but I was bored. The pictures are all there, its well run, though some of the teenagers can get loud. I thought it was more expensive than it should have been and the audio tour for my wife, in Japanese, was incomplete, plus, she had a hard time working it.
Avoid pointing at the pictures, the iron-legged guards yell "Distance" at you.
The naval museum is awesome. Leave a Comment
