About
Amsterdam turns 751, and the city archives mark it with a family day. The star is the 1275 toll privilege, the oldest document that names Amsterdam, on show in the Treasury beside a copy kids can touch. In a workshop, kids build a doll that looks like them from fabric and wool, then take it home. A drop-in craft table suits kids too young for the workshop.
