Dutch culture

Cheese, clogs, windmills, van Gogh and tulips are some of the most famous icons of Dutch culture. But next to this Holland's culture has so much more to offer.

With so many museums across Holland there is always a special exhibition going on especially with the current Holland Art cities theme taking place.

Other museums will be of interest to all ages, learn about historic events and people or visit a historic castle.
