The beginning of the year can be a bleak period for many, however if you happen to be in Amsterdam this will definitely not be the case! There is a whole host of fun and interesting things going on for locals and visitors to take advantage of.

The Future of Fashion is Now, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam

You fashion fiends out there will love this! This exhibition celebrates all that is great about fashion’s newest names. Exciting new talent will be on show, such as the work of Viktor & Rolf and Rejina Pyo. These guys think outside the box when it comes to their designs, with sustainability, futurist technology and the social value of clothing being the central themes.

Design from the Country of The Potato Eaters, Noordbrabants Museum, Den Bosch

24 January – 26 April 2015

Noordbrabants Museum

Brabant is the land of Van Gogh, so it’s no surprise the museum here is showcasing a selection consisting of approximately 85 extraordinary objects and products which have been inspired by three well-known themes from his works produced in Brabant. They include simple life, farmland and nature. It’s a must for any culture vultures out there!

ICE*Amsterdam

What better location for an ice rink then outside the Rijksmuseum? This one is for the kids and the grown ups, with lessons available and sweet treat stalls to enjoy afterwards!
