Visitors can learn about the building's rich history. Its use, a century and a half as Amsterdam's City Hall, five years as a Royal and Imperial Palace, and almost two centuries as a reception palace for the House of Orange has left its mark. An annual changing summer exhibition illustrates the rich history of the building, including as a monument from the 17th century. Every autumn, the work of young painters is exhibited as part of the Royal Prize for Painting.
