Amsterdam Pipe Museum is a museum institution with a social function. That is why the museum dmakes every effort to act with integrity, but also to be reliable and transparent. In addition to a keen eye of our management, our actions are also externally monitored. Two quality marks show that after examination and assessment the museum complies with the legal requirements and the rules that apply within the museum world.
