From 24 June until 4
September 2005, the Jewish Historical Museum is presenting the
summer exhibition Oh, Waterlooplein… The old Jewish quarter of
Amsterdam. Paintings, drawings, photographs and film material
give an impression of the changes that took place in the
neighbourhood from c. 1860 to 1967. The artworks also reflect a
development in the way in which various artists depicted what they
saw. Most of the exhibits come from the collection of the Jewish
Historical Museum itself, which is located at the heart of this old
neighbourhood. More information
