Museum · 2 h · The national museum of antiquities: an Egyptian temple in the hall, mummies, Greece and Rome. €14; open daily and on Thursday evenings.

The national museum of antiquities of the Netherlands is on the Rapenburg and starts strong: in its great covered hall stands the Temple of Taffeh, a real Egyptian temple that you can walk around and look inside. Then come the Egyptian rooms, with mummies, sarcophagi and stelae, and those of Greece, Rome and the archaeology of the Netherlands itself. If you are short of time, follow the route of its 24 main pieces.
