About: Museum Tot Zover
How do we deal with death? That question is central to the Tot Zover Museum. How we deal with death says a lot about who we are, our origins and the times we live in. The Tot Zover Museum provides information about funeral rituals and offers reflection on mortality in a broad sense.
The museum houses permanent and temporary exhibitions. The collection is of a cultural-historical nature and includes old hair paintings, death masks, post-mortem photography, coffins, urns, but also, for example, a collection of miniature cars and ingredients for a modern Muslim funeral such as lotus powder, camphor and musk.
The Cat Cabinet (Het KattenKabinet) is puuurrfectly located in the 'Golden Bend' of the Herengracht. Situated on the classically-furnished piano nobile of a storied 17th-century canal house, there are many rooms full of cat paraphernalia (and real cats).
This house (and the one next to it) were once the property of the Van Eeghen family. In 1985 it was bought by the Stichting Herengracht 497 and restored, eventually becoming the feline-filled fantasy it is today.
It's an easy tram or bike ride from most places in Amsterdam.
The Heineken Experience is located in the original Heineken Brewery. Gerard Adriaan Heineken bought this building back in 1863 when it was the De Hooiberg brewery. He then turned it towards the production of his eponymous beer. The building remained a brewery all the way up to 1988. It was then that it became a museum (and hotspot for Heineken consumption).
Located in the vibrant neighborhood of De Pijp, the Heineken Experience is ideally situated for a canal cruise, and some city exploration that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of Dam Square.
Since 2001, it's been the world-famous Heineken Experience. After a year-long update and redesign in 2008, the Heineken Experience is more Heineken-y and Experience-y than ever before.
