Ripley's is no ordinary museum. It is a collection of the most curious, amazing and incomprehensible objects that founder Robert Ripley collected on his travels around the world in the last century. From a real human skull turned into art, to a life-size robot made of old car parts - it seems like each object challenges you to say, ‘That can't be true, can it?’.
You will walk through themed rooms where you will fall from one surprise into another. Meet people with the longest nails in the world or the man who had his body completely tattooed in the Room of Records. Get your eyes tricked in the spinning tunnel or get completely lost in a mirror labyrinth in the various Illusion Rooms. Or see a mummy, a two-headed goat and other biological wonders at the Rare Realities. Let your head float in a glass sphere or build your own “Believe It or Not” moment with optical illusions. Children and adults alike can marvel at the mix of education, thrills and entertainment that makes this museum one of the most unique attractions in Amsterdam.
Ripley's Believe It or Not! Amsterdam is literally in the heart of the city, a stone's throw from Dam Square, Kalverstraat and Amsterdam Central Station. Its central location makes it the ideal activity during a day of sightseeing in the city. After your visit, you can easily walk on to the Red Light District, grab a terrace on the Beursplein or go shopping in the Kalverstraat or the Bijenkorf.
In a world where we are increasingly accustomed to the unusual, Ripley's still manages to surprise you every time. You'll laugh, horror, raise your eyebrows and maybe even learn something you'll never forget. Because whether you believe it or not... it's all real.
