Parking near De Nieuwe Schatkamer

For years, this was one of the most secure locations in Amsterdam. Behind metres-thick concrete, gold reserves and vast quantities of banknotes were stored. When De Nederlandsche Bank moved its gold and cash reserves to other locations, a unique opportunity arose: what if this hidden place were to be opened up to the public? Following a major refurbishment, the old vault was transformed into a space open to the public where visitors can discover how money works, why central banks exist and what role trust plays in our economy.

As soon as you step inside, you’ll quickly realise that De Nieuwe Schatkamer is about much more than just coins and banknotes. Spread across several floors, you’ll be taken on a journey through stories about the economy, financial stability, digital payments, inflation, gold, art and the role of De Nederlandsche Bank. You don’t need to be an economist to find yourself captivated by what’s on display here. On the contrary: the exhibitions are specifically designed to make abstract themes tangible and personal.

The absolute highlight for many visitors is the former gold vault itself. Here, you can literally experience the place where part of the nation’s wealth was stored for decades. The thick vault doors, the underground chambers and the impressive architecture are a reminder of a time when physical gold and banknotes formed the heart of the financial system. Nowadays, this space is used for an audiovisual vault experience that brings the significance of gold, value and trust to life.

De Nieuwe Schatkamer aims to be more than just an exhibition. Guided tours, talks, debates and events on current social issues are organised on a regular basis. In addition, there are workspaces, reading tables and a coffee bar, giving the space the feel of a modern public meeting place.
