Very interesting and unusual place. It has the status of museum, and there is a small collection of esoteric prints and an enormous vase painted in the Eastern Orthodox iconic tradition. However, the chief attraction is the library of esoteric books, based on the collection of Hermetic philosophical books of Dutch philanthropist Ritman. They also have a nice garden and a nice cafeteria to hang out.

Such an inspirational place. Small but amazingly deep. If you’re a high sensitive-artistic person this is your must in Amsterdam. There’s also a super cozy café where you can relax or meditate about everything you’ve seen. ( ps: the chairs are extra comfortable) Will definetely come back :) Thank you!
This is one of the worst museums I have ever been to in Europe. The "Embassy" is built up like this: There are four rooms with lot's of random drawings at the wall. In each room there's a guide book that kind of explains what you see in the drawings. However, they don't put the drawings into context. You get no understanding of why this drawing is important, what the artist thought and especially not how this is related to the "free mind". Considering the entry price (12ish ), this is clearly nothing more than a tourist trap.
Not the best experience. I was really excited for it but it was a flop. There wasn’t that much to see. A lot of art that you need to look for the description in a folder. Generally very old content. I’m not sure why they don’t want to include contemporary thinkers and ideas. Not much that can trigger a discussion. Their space is very nice looking though. It would be a great cafe space for discussion.
Enlightening museum! Absolutely loved it, awesome art, books and quotes, super kind staff, beautiful flower garden in the backjard, the place had a great energy!
Located in one of the most beautiful buildings along the Amsterdam canals. There's a nice café on the ground floor and the "embassy"/museum houses a collection of old books, artifacts, wall displays and art, as well as work tables for research and reading. The Museumkaart covers the entrance fee and even if you're not interested i the subject matter of this "embassy", it's worth while to come in and have a look at this historic house from the Golden Age, circa early 1600's.
Really nice and cozy cafe
