Discover a city full of stories at Museum Amersfoort. Housed in three late-medieval "wall houses" in the heart of the historic city center, the museum lets you experience how Amersfoort has changed over the centuries. In the exhibition *Amorfortia – A City Full of Stories*, you journey from prehistory to the present day and meet the people who shape the city—from pilgrims and artists to craftspeople, innovators, and residents. A new perspective Through art, unique objects, and a multimedia city model, you gain a fresh perspective on Amersfoort and its inhabitants. You will also uncover hidden stories, such as those of female beer brewers and the city’s colonial past. This changes the way you view the places you encounter later out on the street. Stories that resonate The rotating art and heritage exhibitions highlight contemporary themes and personal stories connected to the city. Get hands-on There is plenty for children to discover, too: the exhibitions feature fun surprises and activities. In the *Maak Mee Atelier* (Participatory Studio), you can immediately put your inspiration into practice through a creative activity or workshop. Exchange ideas in the museum café Take a seat on the terrace or in the museum café, which offers a view of the Koppelpoort. Relax or strike up a conversation with another visitor. Whether you already know Amersfoort or are visiting for the first time, Museum Amersfoort lets you see the city from a different angle.

    Museum Flehite, located in the heart of Amersfoort, offers visitors an insight into the city's rich history and culture. The museum is housed in three medieval houses, which adds to its charm and historical atmosphere.

    The exhibits cover a wide range of topics, from the city's founding to its development through the centuries. Visitors appreciate the well-curated displays that showcase local art, artifacts, and historical objects. The museum does a commendable job of presenting Amersfoort's history in an engaging manner, with informative panels and interactive elements.

    Many visitors find the temporary exhibitions interesting and diverse, adding variety to the permanent collection. The museum's efforts to blend historical content with contemporary art are generally well-received.

    However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small, which might limit the depth of information provided on certain topics. A few reviewers mention that more extensive English translations would be helpful for international visitors.

    The staff is often praised for their friendliness and knowledge, contributing positively to the overall experience. The museum's central location makes it easily accessible and a convenient stop during a visit to Amersfoort.

    While not overwhelming in size or scope, Museum Flehite provides a solid introduction to Amersfoort's history and culture, making it a worthwhile visit for those interested in local heritage.

    Ik kende Philip Haas nog niet en museum Flehite in Amersfoort heeft die omissie goed gemaakt met het retrospectief Sculpture breathes life van deze Amerikaanse kunstenaar, filmmaker en scenarioschrijver. Zijn kunde als filmmaker combineert hij met zijn talent als beeldhouwer. Hij onderzoekt de kunstgeschiedenis en transformeert beroemde werken uit de kunstgeschiedenis naar het hier en nu. Zo maakt hij een video van het beroemde plafondfresco Apollo en de continenten uit het koninklijk paleis van Würzburg dat Tiepolo daar als hofschilder creëerde. Ook de beroemde vier seizoenen van Arcimboldo krijgen dankzij Haas een nieuw leven in driedimensionale proporties. Ook recentere grootheden uit de kunstgeschiedenis passeren de revue zoals een marmeren plaquette waarin Haas de dialoog met Rene Margritte en diens werk aangaat. Virtuoos is de video over leven en werk van James Ensor. In Haas' verfilming komt niet alleen Ensor opnieuw tot leven, maar ook zijn werk, althans een markant deel ervan namelijk de groteske maskers waarmee Ensor furore maakte. Maskers die opeens het gezicht van de kunstenaar zelf vervangen. Zo gaat Haas voortdurend de dialoog met de kunstgeschiedenis aan en leert ons met hernieuwde blik naar bekende werken te kijken. Dit retrospectief -de eerste expositie van Haas ooit in Nederland- is absoluut een tripje naar Amersfoort waard.
