Lonely Planet review for Stadsarchief
The corner of Herengracht and Vijzelstraat is dominated by the colossal Stadsarchief, occupying a 1923 bank building. When you step inside head to the left, to the enormous tiled basement vault and displays of archive gems such as the 1942 police report on the theft of Anne Frank’s bicycle. A small cinema at the back shows vintage films about the city. Upstairs, a fantastic bookshop sells city-oriented tomes.
