De Nieuwe Kerk, Amsterdam Review

They have nice exhibitions here. Now The Archangel Michael (c. 1663) by Luca Giordano.
But the building itself is also worth a visit

Beautiful building. Wish the preservation would have been as a church. Buddha exhibit at our visit. Supposed to be included with City Pass. It was not. 2.50 with City Pass.

It is nice here even without the exhibition about Suriname. They often have exhibitions here on all kinds of subjects. The less mobile people are also considered.

Easy to reach with OV in the heart of Amsterdam.
Buddha in the picture. Beautiful.but short exhibition. They should be allowed to do more often

A must see if you are in Amsterdam. Not just a regular church, but one with lots of history.

Beautiful exhibition learned a lot. Highly recommended for many people

I loved the huge impressive area of the New Church, and it was interesting seeing the 'family burials' rooms around the inside (many with closed doors). The gift store was extensive - I couldn't resist several containers of hilarious 'Last Supper" mints - don't miss them!

This is a special church and with very beautiful exhibitions. The people are friendly and the atmosphere friendly.

On the website closing time at 18.00 hours indicated, but in fact the register desk closes at 17.30 hours. World Press Photo exhibition is very good. You need at least 1 hour for visiting.

Beautiful church with beautiful graves. Only the very rich people had enough money to be buried in the church. That is where the statement: "rich stinker" comes from.

World Press Photo Exhibit was our first time in the Nieuw Kerk. Thrilling, soaring space that inspires. Quality facilities and friendly, professional staff.

Nice location and so exhibition about Suriname and among other things slavery. Impressive what appealed to me, the story of Anton de Kom. Beautiful colours.

There are different expositions taking place in the church.

Big signs on the church saying open, online it says open. Went to an entrace and it says go to other street on ther side. Go there and a small sign says closed. Thanks for wasting my time! Dont waste yours.

There was an exhibition about the past of Suriname. Is worth to take a look. The photo shows the slave labor.

The expo was beautifully arranged. The new church itself is a very beautiful building and is central.

We have been there for the World Press Photo exhibition. Actually, this deserves a big 5 stars because the exhibition was well looked after and can be done very well even with all current measures. It is only a pity that you also enter the Bank Giro lottery trap here without it being clear. We thought we were at the card control and you will be kept talking. The bell only started to ring when these "inspectors" wanted to make a great proposal. Only then do you look further and you see the BGL badge. I still felt fooled by this and I had a nasty aftertaste from the visit. BGL is the organization that bothered me for years when I canceled my membership with new offers. And nothing could be done about that, because you were a member and then you automatically gave permission for it.

Breatiful and have world press exhibition every year !

Exhibition Suriname, A staggering glimpse into the dubious past of slavery

It was closed with no explanation. Extremely disappointing.

Church you have to pay a lot to see. So much for freedom of worship!

One of my favourite exhibitions venues in Amsterdam. Today I went to visit the Surinam exhibition. My grandfather is from there and I am curious about the past and the Surinam slavery and colonial history. The exhibition meant a lot to me. It took me from sad to happy and from feeling amazed to feeling shocked. It will last till the 3rd of March. It is a Dutch/English exhibition. So if you are new to the theme you can learn a lot. It has my full recommendation.

Beautiful church full of history and exhibitions! The name new church hides that it is actually 5 centuries old!

Very interesting space, partly taken over by the World Press Photo 2019 exhibition. Never seen an organ with a folding decorative screen before.

If you love art and culture it can be a pleasurable experience.

The church it self is really good. I went to a exposition that was well made but a little expensive for what I found inside. Even I would suggest a visit, if you are reading this maybe is time to get inside.

The church atmosphere create a peace of mind, very quiet and good for meditation or pay really attention about what is going around

Gorgeous on the outside, unmet expectations inside. The church is great but most of it is covered by exhibitions that don't let you experience the interior of the building and enjoy its history. The paid restroom is quite frustrating. People pay for the entrance any way, make the bathrooms free, come on, don't be cheap. The church is already overrated and the paid restroom makes the experience just shockingly flat and unamusing. Won't come again

Beautiful it was a shame that it was made bland many centuries ago it would of been an amazing place

Great exhitbit space with ever chaning and thoughtful exhibits.

Remains an impressive church. A piece of Dutch history. At the time of my visit there was the World Press Photo exhibition, nice to see through combined.

The entrance to the Nieuwe Kerk is in a corner of Dam Square. There was the annual photo exhibition. Great photos.

very beautiful church, sometimes with wonderful exhibitions

Really cool! I didn't get to see anything particularly memorable, but I hear there's been crownings so maybe you'll be luckier than I was.

An exhibition about the life of Buddha can be seen at the Nieuwe Kerk Amsterdam. Wonderful to see images of this Eastern religion in this wonder beautiful church. Much work has been done to make this exhibition sparkle and that is 100% successful

15th century Gothic church in Dam Square, now used as an exhibition hall.

Visited while an exhibit (which I was not interested in) was in progress. I thought the two could coexist however the exhibit didn't allow for the church to be enjoyed.

Beautiful church with an impressive exhibition about Suriname.

Incredible building, however do not feel that it was worth the 16 euro ticket fee.

Beautiful church, used as an exhibition space. Currently beautiful exhibition about Suriname.

Very well-kept landmark for Amsterdam, many special ceremonies have been conducted here. Amongst them coronation.

The atmosphere, the mysterious of the past, I have often been in the Nieuwe Kerk, changing exhibitions .... it remains special !!

Remains an impressive church. Was there for the Suriname exhibition and that was nice too (especially if you have something about Suriname)

Visited the World Press Photo exhibition whilst I was in Amsterdam and it was in this church. A great open setting for it and as an added bonus we got to view a beautiful church inside too.

The new church, built in 1400, belongs to late Gothic architecture. After two baptisms of the fire, the interior of the church is now an early Renaissance style. The most important piece of art is a baroque carved wooden podium carved in 15 years. The glass painting in the church is also unique. From 1815 onwards, it became the place where the King of the Netherlands celebrated the celebrations. The important ceremonies of the royal family were held here. There are also many celebrities, such as the poet Vondel, and Admiral Leyte are buried here.

Grite Suriname Exhibition well worth the effort. Historical building with good re-use.

Great that the large Suriname exhibition is organized in the Nieuw Kerk. You should never forget your origin. You must have seen this as a Surinamese. Much about Suriname and its residents. In the past you were given something at school, especially about slavery, but this is different cook / cake. Heartbreaking! Glad I was. It is an eye opener for everyone. This fantastic exhibition can be seen until 2 February 2020.

Remains a special church, rich history which is beautifully displayed. Praalgraf and the last resting place of Admiraal de Ruijter continues to fascinate.

Nice exhibition about Suriname and the slave past. Recommended for young and old.

A beautiful church which is used more for events.

Particularly beautiful are the design of the windows, the grave slabs in the floor, the restored medieval designs of the walls and columns, the wooden benches and pulpit and the imposing organ. During my visit, I was able to listen to the playing of the organ.
The entrance fee is 10 / adult

Nieuwekerk : opening hours Daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. : 15 (I amsterdam City Card 3,5 ).

De Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam is famous for its much talked-about exhibitions. With hundred thousands of visitors every year, the church is one of the most attended exhibition locations in the Netherlands.

The large-scale exhibitions on treasures from other countries, cultures and religions are a household term to many people.

Went during an exhibit, but the church itself was the most beautiful part.

The place alone justifies going to the exhibit of the day -which will probably be interesting too-. It's the place of royal weddings and other happenings, exuberant in it's Protestant restraint.

Nice church with often good exhibitions like world press photo.

I went to the van exhibition about the history of Suriname
It touches, but also shows the horrible facets of the slavery past. This exhibition has been compiled with great love and respect
Every right-minded Dutchman should go here to increase his knowledge about this piece of history so connected to his country. That is my sincere opinion, perhaps it helps to gain more understanding and respect for our Dutch people, whose roots originated in such a beautiful country that is currently still having a difficult time due to poor government policy and their bad pmnrkeame leader.

Lovely building, can't say the museum was worth the cost of entry. Would have been nice just to look around the building and take in the decor.

The church was much bigger than I was expecting and very open. The exhibition of the press photography of the year award was on when we were there. It was moving but incredibly moving and poingnant.

quite a magnificent looking church, though didn't get to really enjoy the building for its historical and spiritual significance. was there for the world press photo 2016 exhibition. still, would like to spend more time admiring the architecture next time.

The BIG SURINAME EXHIBITION has been set up in the Nieuwe Kerk. Unique exhibition with documents and objects never shown before. Gives a whole new perspective on the history of Suriname up to now and the way in which Suriname was established. The treatment of the slaves is staggering. Exhibition is one of the most interesting in recent years.

Always many events in here and of course the royal crownings, for example our King Willem Alexander Oranje-Nassau was crowned in here in April 2013.

Simply church with beautiful statue and cemetery of noble families or famous persons, entrance ticket fee 9 Euro. The staff are warmly welcome and hospitality. There are self-audio guide instrument and room for storage the big bag or jacket. Not wonderful or beautiful as I expected. Toilet is not free. If you have a limited time, I suggest Royal palace Amsterdam instead of this or you may skip this place for anothers.

Always good to be here. Beautiful church and transformed into South American atmospheres for the exhibition about Suriname.

Impressive church. There was played on the organ when we were there. A fantastic sound! We could see the organist play through a screen. A great experience.

Nice exhibition with good accompanying texts. The photos of the old worldpress winners are also a good addition. Definitely go and have a look again. Minus, the strategic position of the Bankgiro Loterij sellers. You can hardly ignore them. You don't always want that at an exhibition

Went there to see the world press photo exhibition. While the space is nice and interesting, I'm not sure I would visit if there was no exhibition.

Beautiful both as a church and as a museum, although to my taste, the two do not completely smoothly go together.

The life of Buddha is a wonderful exposition to see. Nice objects and interesting information, gives food for thought. What I liked about it was that one can make very different conclusions, it's not at all restricted to one narrative. Even not being religious at all I had good time and enjoyed sincere laughter several times about different things, including myself.

Great informative exhibition. A mandatory visit for all Dutch people.
The location is also special, compliments.

World Press Photo exposition an impressive expo, recurring each year.
