Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum in Amsterdam — Attraction in Amsterdam

Very surprised by the reviews. Very overpriced considering the 'weed' aspect is mostly just 2 rooms with pics on the walls to look at and some pipes. (I was advised the hemp part of the museum was down the street in another location, didn't bother making the journey to that one after the first. It wAs only me and 3 other people in there, and they also moved through it quickly) The entrance also feels seedy because of it's location and the curtain entrance (presumably the curtain is to avoid potential customers seeing inside and deciding not to bother). I actually stopped outside when I arrived to double check on maps if it was actually the right place as it looks inviting in the lobby, like a raunchy cinema or something. Disappointed. Especially since it's the same price as some much larger and more professional looking museums. More of a tourist trap. Oh and I also went to pay card (they had card machine) but the lady said they prefer cash please. Hmmm 🤔 ok. Skip this place and spend the cash on a nice gram.. that'd last longer than the half hour...

One of the best museums I've ever visited and as a museum nerd I've visited quite a few of them. And it wasn't because it has something extraordinary, but because it is made very convenient and enjoyable in a simple way. The highlight was this cool gadget – an audio guide shaped like a phone. At the beginning you pick your language, and it takes you through the museum. The different sections have chips with numbers; you just tap on them and it explains what you're seeing. It's like a personal tour at your own pace – best of both worlds! The staff were also amazing, very chill but at the same time very kind and genuinely happy to help (definitely the best staff from all the places in Amsterdam that I've visited). Aslo the content in the museum was very informative and it made me aware of a lot of things i didn't know about the cannabis plant, especially about hemp. This museum definitely does justice to this precious plant, shifting the narrative from it being a drug for lazy stoned junkies, to its...

Ok museum, probably a bit too small to justify the $10 ticket, because I went through it in only 15 minutes, then went back through a 2nd time to drag out my visit to 30 minutes by seeing the displays I skipped

The audio tour is good and informative. The staff are friendly

All the displays seem to be decades or years old, so they really need to add more recent exhibits. They should decrease the size of the gift shop, which doesn’t sell much stuff because of all the competition, to have more room for displays. If they don’t sell many seeds they should eliminate that side business as then they’d have vastly more space for their museum

Also they need to tell people on exit there’s a sister museum included in your ticket a few doors down, or most people miss this, which again would help...
