The former post office designed by the architect can be visited as well as the period appartment that is furnished as it was common in the twenties. In addition, the museum has a garden where Amsterdam School street furniture is exhibited.

    Museum Het Schip in Amsterdam offers visitors an insightful look into the Amsterdam School architectural style and social housing of the early 20th century. The museum is housed in a former workers' housing complex, which itself is a prime example of the Amsterdam School design. Visitors appreciate the well-preserved architecture and the opportunity to explore a fully furnished workers' apartment from the 1920s, providing a glimpse into the living conditions of that era. The museum's exhibits effectively explain the history and significance of the Amsterdam School movement, its connection to socialist ideals, and its impact on Dutch architecture and design. Many reviewers highlight the knowledgeable guides and informative audio tours available in multiple languages. The museum's compact size allows for a comprehensive visit without being overwhelming. Some visitors note that while the museum is excellent for those interested in architecture and design history, it may be less engaging for general tourists or children. A few reviewers mention that the museum can be a bit difficult to find, as it's located in a residential area away from the city center. Overall, Museum Het Schip is highly regarded by architecture enthusiasts and those interested in Dutch social history, offering a unique perspective on an important period in Amsterdam's development.

    Dit bijzondere museum belicht eigenlijk twee zaken. Naast de architectuur- en kunststroming Amsterdamse School wordt ook getoond hoe vroeger de PTT wekte. Dit is vooral goed te zien in het mooie postkantoor van de hand van Michel de Klerk, de architect van het bouwblok waarin het museum zich bevindt. De rondleiding die bij de toegangsprijs is inbegrepen is zeer aan te raden. Die neemt je ook mee naar de modelwoning uit de jaren '20. Verder is er een groot café waar ook een lunch wordt geserveerd. In de tuin daarachter zijn vele attributen te zien die vroeger her en der in Amsterdam op straat waren te zien zoals girobussen, brandmelders en een kiosk. Vooral oudere Amsterdammers zullen dit herkennen. Dit museum is een aanrader met mooi weer omdat er veel buiten valt te zien.
