You wake up late on a lazy weekend afternoon in Amsterdam, unsure of how to spend the lingering daylight hours. The answer to your uncertainties is fairly simple: the hidden art galleries of the Jordaan. Tucked along the canals and side streets of what is known as Amsterdam's more artsy neighborhood, unfortunately little known to tourists much beyond the Anne Frank House, are scores of art galleries--waiting to be discovered. Walk into one of these galleries on a Sunday afternoon and expect to be warmly received, and walk out with a work of art or two, or at least a decision to purchase one in the future. The artists welcome you warmly into their galleries--a stroll down the Brouwersgracht and you'll already see a few--and serve you some tea and pastries or cookies. But the tastiest morsels they serve you--the opinions of the art world, the evolution of their work, the interpretations of individual paintings--is an experience you will go back to on subsequent trips to Amsterdam. The walk through art galleries is a journey of discovery--enjoy.
