Website | EmailIn the former General Dutch Diamond guildhall, is now a museum that shows the history of the Dutch trade unions and the development of the Dutch welfare state in a permanent exhibition. Apart from this permanent exhibition, there are often temporary exhibitions which are also related to labor. De Burcht (The Stronghold), as this place is often referred to, houses other kinds of activities, such as symposia, lectures and film showings. The building itself is a masterpiece, too. It was designed by the famous architect, Berlage and the beautiful murals by the painter Richard Roland Holst are considered the most beautiful part of the collection by many.
