Amsterdam
Description
Amsterdam is a city that pioneered much of modern life, from multinational trade to the way we design our homes. To find out how, Janina Ramirez and Alastair Sooke take us on a tour of the city's cultural hotspots. They introduce us to the paintings of Jan Steen, take us on an entertaining tour of the canals that helped build Amsterdam, and explore the city’s reputation for tolerance, in the oldest surviving Jewish library in the world.
