KattenKabinet (Cat Cabinet)

Herengracht 497, 1017 BT Amsterdam

Quirky museum in a 1667 canal house devoted entirely to feline art, from Picasso to Rembrandt.

This guide to the KattenKabinet in Amsterdam tells the story of Bob Meijer, whose grief over his ginger tomcat John Pierpont Morgan led him to fill a seventeenth-century canal house with cat-themed art. You'll hear about the increasingly absurd birthday tributes friends gave the cat over the years, and hunt for works by Picasso, Rembrandt, and Toulouse-Lautrec tucked among the baroque rooms. Meijer's family still lives above the collection today.
