De Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam Review

Great costumer service and very comfortable shoes for sale.

The New Church (completed in 1408) on the Dam Square in the centre of the centre of Amsterdam is in use as an exhibition space. It also houses the grave of Michiel de Ruyter, famous naval commander. Currently (Oct 2019) there is a very nice exhibition about Suriname or Dutch Guyana, a former colony of the Netherlands in South America.

Seen an exhibition about Suriname. Subject and location .... Superrr

Beautiful church outside and inside, great exhibition and calming atmosphere for those who want some quiet and peaceful time in Amsterdam.

Was here for the world photo competition. Great location for it. Looks a lovely building.

Visited world press photo 2020 exhibition. Nice spacious setup, good lighting and excellent corona measures.

Less is arranged here in terms of audio guide. It seems that the number of audio guides does not meet the amount of visitors. That means you have to stand in line for the audio guide for a long time. Perhaps it is an idea to have the audio guide of an exhibition made on an app, so that visitors can listen from their mobile.

Beautiful.. a little expensive for what you get. But beautiful. Must see in Amsterdam city centre

Beautiful surroundings. Budha exhibition was very disappointing to us only 2 stars

Loved the photo exhibition, the church itself is ok.

Great historical site. Would get six stars if the protestants hadn't had their way with it.

We were disappointed by an exhibition about Suriname. In addition, it was too busy and an entrance fee of 18 is way too much.

Catholic Church converted into museum with temporary exhibitions. A bit weird. Last entrance 17:00, closing time 18:00

Cool church, cool exhibition (World press photo, 2017).

Beautiful church with a lot of history and art. There is always a space for art exhibitions and it is well organized. There is a shop inside with beautiful and themed products according to the exhibition. It's worth knowing, right in the center of Amsterdam.

The building itself is magnificent and a great way to see some of the slightly more modern architectural style but didn't feel the exhibits inside justified the entrance fee. Feel free to step inside the lobby to marvel at the beautiful giant panes of stained glass. Worth a visit since it's so close to downtown.

Beautiful church in the middle of town. Surinam exhibit is definitely worth a look.

Was there to see Buddha exhibition in January, and amazed at this place! Stunning architecture inside and out! lots of historical info inside, fascinating! Love it

Nice architecture, make and maintained it as conventional church design to attract the tourists, best only for photography, most expensive entry tickets, souvenir and paid restroom, location is in the middle of busiest tourist attractions area, this is only the worth of this point. Recommend for pictures only.

You discover the great connections. The how and why!

Suriname Monologues: moving, moving and beautifully beautiful
What a fantastic monologue by this actress!

World Press Photo is extremely well this year.
Found it moderately last year. This year: Top

To be clear, the World press photo exposition was amazing. Church not so intresting.

Mooie expositie World press foto. Jammer dat de app niet werkte....

Visited the World Press Photo exhibition which is more impactful in such a historical location. On walking distance from the station so also great when you have limited time!

Amazing place. I can imagine the atmosphere if it is crowded with people for mass...unfortunately there wasn t.

I visited while the World Photo Press Exhibit was ongoing. It was an eye opening experience seeing those photographs of war and human sufferings in large formats. I've seen some of those pictures online, but the visual impact of a large format display is moving. We live our daily lives blinded by what's going on outside our own backyard. Some of those pictures and short films are heart breaking.

The consultant serving me was very helpful. I felt that some of the pictures told a very sad story. That made me realize that no matter which part of the world, we are all common. Our stories might be different but we are all made in the Image of God. Some challenges are beyond our control. We have to let God be our leader and guide.

Nice location near by Amsterdam Damsquer at the moment Exposition about Suriname !

Beautiful church & a beautiful, informative exhibition about Suriname ....

A truly beautiful place to visit.We came upon this church by chance and went inside for a while.It is impressive with stunning stained glass windows and ornamentel figurines and so much more to admire.It is very peaceful too.You are allowed to take photos.

Nice and seen a lot of recognition.
Went there last year.

Beautiful church, but with the near constant exhibiting, you can't appreciate the forest for the trees.

The Masterpiece of Luca Giordano admired: Archangel Michael.

A Gran Sranan Presenteri, The Great Surinam Exposition, definitely worth a visit. Very well explained, displayed , beautiful artifacs and examples of a colourful country & it's culture.

Visited here while attending The World Press Photography Exhibit 2018...its last day in Amsterdam... stunning architecture & history... one of Amsterdam s finest old buildings.. so glad I got to experience this beautiful church & witness this exhibition..

A beautiful historic building with good quality expositions and concerts.

Suriname exhibition was inspiring and enlightening. The Nieuwe Kerk is a beautiful platform. Bonus is the insight into the tomb of Michiel de Ruyter

The Great Suriname exhibition is impressive; well worth watching.

Educational. History for visitors.
For people who are interested in land that has been a colony. Exhibition.
Splendor and pomp for immigrants after the abolition of slavery.

Its a marvel and must-see! The architecture will blow you away.

Compared to many other churches and cathedrals in western Europe, this church is not as architecturally impressive.

Went to Marilyn Monroe exhibition. Wonderful setting in this beautiful historical church. Love!

An unexpected visit to the Nieuw Kerk turned out to be a special surprise. Since there was no cloakroom and lockers available in the nearby Royal Palace, while no bags and backpack were allowed, we ended up at the Nieuwe Kerk, where a friendly lady indicated that when visiting the Nieuwe Kerk, the lockers were and our luggage could remain there during our visit to the Royal Palace. She even arranged tickets for us. So friendly! Nieuwe Kerk, even without coming to the exhibition, was a very nice and interesting building; beautiful hall, interesting funerary monuments of partly probably very 'wrong' figures, beautiful wooden vault and pulpit garden; but for us that friendly hostess stole the show; We had a great day in Amsterdam with the Royal Palace and unexpectedly the Nieuwe Kerk as domestic tourists, who welcomed themselves.

Stunning exterior was the main reason we ventured inside. The imposing stained glass windows are magnificent and preserved well. A stunning place of worship in Dam square which is well worth a visit!

Beautiful, impressive, sad but also cheerful and educational exhibition about the history of Suriname.

Honestly magnificent. Can add the whole new dimension to almost any exposition it hosted at the same time staying calm deep and mystical. Seriously, visit it even if you've already seen what's on show

This is the worst place in the whole city where spend 9 for nothing. Everything is closed inside, a single painting which is a copy, not the original. There's nothing else to see.
Avoid at all cost.

Would have been 5* if some of the screens weren't out of order. Great history and art work. Went with the iamsterdam card

There was an exhibition about Ghandi, King and Mandela, which did not visit. The inside of the building is beautiful.

Always nice exhibition, not busy, not even at popular exhibition due to dosed access

Why has the Surinamese exhibition been extended by just one month? I wanted to reserve an e-ticket. But all days of the last week is red. Unfortunately I cannot see the exhibition. I understand that even with a museum ticket without a ticket you will not get in. It's a pity. Why such a short period?

Mainly visited for the World Press Photography Exhibition, so was worth the visit for that.

A late Gothic church built in the 15th century, located next to the royal palace.
It is said that the coronation of the kings of the past was held and it is not used as a church but as a palace museum.

Beautiful church. I saw the large Suriname exhibition this weekend. What a beautiful exhibition in a special setting.

Be at a nice educational exhibition about Suriname. Find the 18 euros expensive. We were outside again within an hour.

This is no longer a church. Pretty much everything has been taken out. The outside looks like a church, but the inside has been divided into different areas for different exhibits. Definitely not worth an entry fee of Euro 15 +.

Really nice church. Staffs are helpful. I went there when they have an exhibition about Suriname history. So fascinated to see.

Beautiful impressive church. The exhibition about Suriname is beautifully decorated and interesting for young and old. The 1 has more with certain subjects than the other. The exhibition is not very extensive, the price of 18 euros I thought a bit high. Children up to 11 free. Young people with CJP only 14.40.

Beautiful church where they have lots of exhibitions throughout the whole year

Beautiful Suriname exhibition. Really a nice addition to our recent visit to Suriname.

Wonderful Buddha exhibition on currently in a really beautiful building.

WARNING: RIP OFF. DO NOT VISIT THE JEFF KOONS SHOW
I'm an Amsterdam resident and luckily did not have to pay to see this show but I wanted to warn any tourist so they are not ripped off! The Jeff Koons show being staged at this venue is charging adults 9 Euros each to see one picture!! I was told by a member of staff that all visitors are told there is only one picture on display but this was not happening. I asked the ticket office why not and they said it was a masterpiece and they felt fine about this! The piece of work in question is a self proclaimed master piece by Jeff Koons and is average by the very best interpretation. Please, if you are a visitor to Amsterdam do not waste your money paying to seeing one painting and visit any of the other great museums and galleries Amsterdam has to offer. De Nieuwe Kerk and Jeff Koons should be truly ashamed of themselves for what they are doing here. Thanks

I'd rather enjoy the beauty of the church than a photo opportunity. The back of my ticket had a picture of a killer. I looked at this as I entered the CHURCH of all places. I think this is more about fund raising than anything.

Maybe pictures of architecture, landscape, life. We can be reminded daily of how bad life is. Just turn on any news channel.

Classic old church, just what one would expect. We go there for world press every year. Well worth the visit

Definitely interesting place with great history. Pity it is not possible to visit the church inside without paying for the actual exhibition there. There is a souvenier shop inside where you can buy 3d cards dedicated to Amsterdam and the Netherlands and other stuff. Pets are not allowed - even our cat, laced and kept in the bag.

The exhibition is what you can expect:
If you were not interested in Suriname it is very enlightening and well documented. If you know a lot about Suriname, it was nothing new.
And suddenly the exhibition stopped at the 1975 Independence Party ... As if nothing happened after that in Suriname.

One of the most beautiful cathedral in Amsterdam, placed in the historical part of the city in the neighborhood of the Dom square. Today, this cathedral is a museum.

Visited a nice and educational exhibition about Suriname. Very good and useful to visit as you get to know what our government has tried to keep out of our history books with great difficulty.

Suriname exhibition very special emotional, too bad there was no route.

Part of the I Amsterdam card. Stop by it's a very nice visit and includes the audio guide. Unlike the Royal Palace which is an extra charge.
