In this virtual reality experience, you walk together through 17th-century Amsterdam, seen through the eyes of its people. You move through the city as it once was: along the IJ, across Dam Square. You encounter citizens from that time and discover how people lived, traded, worked and came together in 1652.
The experience is designed to be shared. Visitors move simultaneously through the same virtual world, taking the journey through the city together. The result is a collective experience where you don’t just observe history, but stand within it.
