The city archive of Amsterdam is located in the beautiful former Bank building “De Bazel” named after its architect Karel Bazel was build between 1919 en 1926 fot the “Nederlandsche Handelmaatschappij”(Dutch Trading Company). De BaZel is a national monument, the style of architecture is Art Deco and a theosophical message is what the architect Karel Bazel wanted to convey.Beside the extensive archive, which is freely accessible, there is a coffee bar, a bookstore with work about the city of Amsterdam. There are also exhibitions, you can visit the safe and there is a permanent film presentation about the history of Amsterdam. A number of rooms are available (hire) for meetings, weddings and seminars. A visit to the archives of Amsterdam, building “De Basel”, is worthwhile, especially for lovers of architecture more than worth it. And of course also for genealogical research.

    The place of the city archives is not very big, the surrounding is a very lively neighborhood, it is easy to walk through a place. However, we have a tight time and we didn't go in to visit. If you are interested, you can go and see.

    This is a quiet museum. There are permanent and temporary exhibition areas. They are very good. There is also a cafe. The decorative art in front of the cafe is very beautiful.

    The building is very tall and solemn, with a very large internal area and antique style. Nearby is a busy commercial street.
