A distinctive striped former bank dating from 1923 now houses over 50km of shelving storing Amsterdam archives. Fascinating displays of archive gems, such as the 1942 police report on the theft of Anne Frank's bike and a letter from Charles Darwin to Artis Royal Zoo in 1868, can be viewed in the enormous tiled basement vault. Upstairs, a gallery space mounts temporary exhibits.
