Yesterday I went to Amsterdams Historisch Museum. Temporary exhibition about 'city animal' was nice. It's about animals that lived in Amsterdam through the time. What kind of animals could be found in the past and when they disappeared as human moved in. There's also a show about how do they keep the birds away from Schiphol (it's dangerous as they cannot fly away from plane's engine, yet if they got stuck there, the plane is in danger).
Oh and one nice thing: I saw what it'd look if a bike is taken from the bottom of Amsterdam's canal.
Permanent exhibition was quite boring. OK, it's even in Lonely Planet's itinerary for one day. The idea is nice and all. But personally I think it is too elaborative for history of one city only. This permanent exhibition has nothing to do with more general history, it is exclusively about Amsterdam's history.
I like the media presentation about how they build Amsterdam. How the map looked like in 1600. Where they started the city, how it grew, etc.
