Summary
Description
Are you familiar with cat cafes? Amsterdam has taken a far more sophisticated approach to the idea by establishing an entire canal house filled with our beloved feline companions, along with a plethora of stunning cat-related artwork! Brighten someone's day with an unexpected trip to The Cat Cabinet, where you can admire masterpieces created by renowned artists showcased in a variety of creatively designed rooms. It's an ideal outing for cat enthusiasts of all kinds!
It is located on the first floor - also known as the piano nobile - of a historic canal house on the Herengracht, the museum known as The Cat Cabinet. Explore the extensive private collection of cat-related items curated by Bob Meijer, which includes artwork, posters, and paintings centered around feline themes. The museum is a tribute to John Piermont Morgan (1966-1983), the beloved ginger cat of Bob. Instead of eccentric cat ladies, this establishment celebrates a different kind of enthusiast - the eccentric cat-loving man.
Imagine antique couches, tall, heavy, and vibrant drapes, wooden details that belong to the 17th and 18th centuries, and, undoubtedly, cats. They're all over the place.
Although there are artworks featuring cats by famous artists like Picasso, Rembrandt, Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, Henriette Ronner Knip, Toulouse-Lautrec and others, the truth is you may be occupied with caressing your new fluffy companions too much to appreciate them.
