Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum

About

The Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum – Amsterdam's pioneering museum celebrating the history, science and cultural impact of cannabis and hemp – offers visitors an immersive journey through more than 9,000 artefacts, from ancient ceremonial objects to modern‑day medical devices. Located in the heart of the city’s historic canal belt, the museum hosts two complementary venues: a canal‑side gallery showcasing historical and contemporary items, and the nearby Hemp Gallery dedicated to industrial hemp’s heritage and future. Together they highlight the plant’s versatility, from ancient trade to modern medicine, art, textiles and sustainability. Visitors can expect interactive exhibits, a live cannabis garden, audio guides in multiple languages and family‑friendly activities that make the museum a must‑visit destination for those curious about cannabis, its history, and its many uses. The museum’s collections encompass rare scrolls, paintings, industrial tools, and contemporary cannabis products, giving insight into the plant’s use across cultures and epochs. In 2025 the museum reported over two million visitors, reflecting its growing popularity as a cultural hub for cannabis enthusiasts of all backgrounds.
