Museumkaart Cards!

Posted by on

We have made an on-line reservation to go to Ann Frank House at 2:00pm on the day of our arrival (May 25th). During the process of reservation, I responded to a question regarding payment, that we will pay for the ticket through Museumkaart - the idea was that we will purchase on-line two Museumkaart cards, before leaving the U.S. Little did we know that, we cannot buy these cards on-line & can only be purchased locally.

While in Amsterdam, we are stayng at a hotel at "Delflandlaan 15, 1062EA, Amsterdam". Can you help in locating a place closest to the hotel, where I can by easily, two Museumkaart cards (@ €59 each) soon upon arrival.
The other alternative will be to buy the cards at Amsterdam airport itself upon arrival, that is, if it is possible; is it?
Thanks a lot!

As far as I know, the Museumkaart can only be bought at the participating museums.
You can buy the Museumkaart at the Anne Frank Huis. You've got a reservation, so that wouldn't be a problem.
If you'd rather arrive with a Museumkaart in hand, a nearby selling point which wouldn't be too busy, is the Nieuwe Kerk (oppositie the Royal Palace on Dam Square). It's a 10 mins walk from the Anne Frank Huis.

Below is a link with museums listed where the museumkaarts are sold. Unfortunately they are not sold at Schiphol. The location closest to where you are staying appears to be one of the museums in the Museumplein - Van Gogh, Rijks, or Stedelijk. If you are going to another museum before AFH then buy it there. If not, buy it at AFH. I would recommend seeing at least one of the beautiful and historical canal house museums - either Willet Holthuysen or Museum Van Loon, and they sell the museumkaart. Have a wonderful time in Amsterdam!

Because of the crowds at the Anne Frank House, even though you have a reservation, I would buy the Museumkaart in advance in another location. The Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) on Dam Square is a great spot, as it is never crowded and only 10 minutes away. If you are buying it in the Museum District instead, I would try the Stedelijk since the lines are usually shorter.
