Heineken Experience

Museums in this collection span world-class art and history institutions to small, specialized collections worth a detour. Major museums increasingly require timed-entry tickets and sell out on weekends, so reserve ahead. Look for free-admission evenings and city passes, which can bundle several museums together at a meaningful discount.
