    Beautiful. Amazing. Moooving. I want to own all the cows. The art was so fantastic and it reminded me of both the art cows in Chicago and cow cows in Wisconsin. I felt so at home. My only issue is I wish I didn't like it because I don't want to spend all my money here!

    This is a quirky little shop and museum located at Leliegracht that we recently visited while browsing the Ring Canals of Amsterdam. Opening hours 12 to 10pm daily. Here you find an eclectic arrangement of Cow and other animal related items, some of which are for sale and others that are permanent items for viewing only. Have a quick look if you like/collect cow items or simply want to spend a few minutes seeing what is on display at the Cow Museum in Amsterdam.

    Hello from Texas. The Cow Museum offered a great selection of unique figures. The gentleman there was great with helping my wife and I with shipping options as well as VAT tax forms. My wife continues to add to here collection from here and the museum has gone above and beyond to assist her. We highly recommend this museum and I promise you will bring home something that fits your personality and will bring home warm memories of this little museum and your experience in Amsterdam.

    We passed by the shop two days before in early morning and found the collections really unique and special and decided to come back when it’s open. Shopkeeper Sam is really nice and passion about his collection. We really have a nice talk and know a lot more about the artwork and the exhibition. Great shop and also really nice boss!😀

    Was looking forward to this shop with Mum, she’s a big cow fan. The pricing is very unclear, small cows are more expensive than some larger cows. I picked one up to check and was shooed out of the shop by the owner as I didn’t see the do not touch sign. Might be best to shop online…

    I had no idea I can find museums for cows lol. This place is a find, filled with beautiful art pieces and it is a must visit when in Amsterdam. They are expensive but worth every penny if you are into weird things. Each one is unique and extremely creative. I wish I have them ALL!

    ABSOLUTELY must-visit. My girlfriend & I were train-hopping through Europe for three weeks, and this was by far the most unique and interesting store we visited. Whether you're interested in the art-history of cows (and elephants) or looking for a *perfect* one-of-a-kind gift at a great price (ranging from affordable to exclusive), this is the place to go!

    This shop was so cool! Lots of different characters, colours and shapes of cows from different artists. They are good quality and some are hand painted or unique collectible items. Very funky museum and would definitely recommend to anyone interested in cows or anyone who just wants unique photos/experience. The man behind the desk was very helpful and kind. Real passion for cows!

    I haven't yet had the pleasure of visiting the shop personally but I reached out to the owner to help me find a very special elephant figure for me as mine had unfortunately been damaged. I cannot thank him enough for making this happen and finding the piece for me, I was so happy when it arrived (along with a new elephant friend). His communication throughout was so friendly and I feel he is a very genuine person and knew how much this piece meant to me. Thank you again and I hope to visit the shop one day.

    Great shop with a range of handmade artistic cows. Nice place for presents or to jazz up your house. Sam is also very friendly and knowledgeable!

    Come here - great selection and good prices! I have searched for parades in many different locations, but this sop almost has it all, lots of things to choose from. Perfect customer service, the guy behind the counter usually gives decent discounts. I can't recommend enough ! cow, elephant, and disney parades, in addition to limited editions. There are tons of shops in this city, so I'm picky about which one I'd frequent to spend my money. I choose this place every time, hands down!

    Spent an hour talking with the owner Sam about the designer's and various style's and came away with a cool design for my new apartment. Recommended to visit!

  • 5/5 Benjamin J. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing. The cow museum has a cow of every size, shape, type, theme, and style you could ever imagine - and then some. The owner is extremely knowledgeable of the history of this genre of art, and has been relevantly involved in the scene for a long time. Perfect for a gift, decorative piece, and more.
