The small group of Honors 450 participants will extend our journey by spending two days in Amsterdam, during which time we will visit the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum, and other sites of historical interest.  NOTE: This portion of the trip is not included in the overall Travel and Study to Italy Program.  Each individual stopping over in Amsterdam is responsible for her or his lodging, meals, museum tickets, and other expenses.

Here's the home page for our hotel, the Tulip Inn City Centre:

NW 55/18 MAR     depart Amsterdam 4:40pm/ arrive Minneapolis 6:50pm

To get you thinking about our two days in Amsterdam (March 16-18), here are some web sites that you may wish to explore.

Here's the home page for the Anne Frank House, which opens every day at 9 a.m.:

The Van Gogh-Gauguin exhibit that I saw at the Chicago Art Institute last November will be at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam while we are there. I recommend it highly:
