Walk together through Amsterdam’s Botermarkt 1675

In September 1675, the Botermarkt – now known as Rembrandtplein – was the vibrant setting of a lively fair. 350 years later, this unique moment in Amsterdam’s history is brought back to life in the heart of the city.

Using the latest VR technology, you don’t just observe the past – you step into it. Wander through the market, explore the stalls, purchase goods, and soak up the atmosphere of the time.

You’ll find yourself right in the middle of history, surrounded by the people of 17th-century Amsterdam.
