KattenKabinet (Cat Cabinet)
0.27km from Museum Van Loon
The KattenKabinet is an art museum in Amsterdam devoted to works depicting cats. It specializes in art representing cats. There is an aura of specific sense humor not only in the theme of this museum, but also in a way this museum has been presented to the visitor. Sculptures, paintings, posters and books about the felines are exhibited in a serious, professional way - almost too serious not to provoke a smile on a visitors face.
Bloemenmarkt
0.4km from Museum Van Loon
The Bloemenmarkt Flower Market is a floating market located on Singel. Founded in 1862, it is sited in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on the Singel canal between Muntplein and Koningsplein in the city's southern canal belt.

The stalls are a great place to buy gifts & souvenirs of Holland and Amsterdam.
