Amsterdam History Day

– will be celebrated on Sunday, June 6th 2010
 
Are you foreigner and living in Amsterdam?  Then this is an important message for you!  On Sunday the 6th of June the Amsterdam Historical Museum will organize The Tolerance Trail.
 
This is a preview of a tour we are developing together with Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder. The tour leads you through the city centre. As you may know, Amsterdam has a rich history as a city of tolerance. This tour will lead you to places that are connected with religious and sexual freedom. But Amsterdam has also known periods of persecution; the Tolerance Trail will give due attention to this darker piece of Amsterdam's history as well.

This is a special event during Amsterdam History Day for expats living in Amsterdam.
 
We may develop tours for families in future - but this time it's for adults only.
 
During a 90 minute walk with a group of maximum 15 participants you will discover new places and new stories in Amsterdam.  Cost is a modest € 10,-, including 2 drinks at the closing party of the Amsterdam History Day in the courtyard of the Amsterdam Historical Museum (4.30 – 7 pm).
 
The Tolerance Trail is commented in English and will start at the Amsterdam Historical Museum and ends at the Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder or vice versa. It starts at 12:30 or 14:30. It's your choice where you want to start the tour.
