 welcome thuis
the best way to see museums in the netherlands is with the museum card, it allows access to over 400 museums in the netherlands. it is approximately 50€ for card that is valid one year and you can purchase it at some museums or online.  it will also help you avoid those long lines on museum night.

hermitage
this is described as "an exhibition space and cultural education centre with a focus on Russian history and culture".  they always have great exhibits, so check their website to see what is showing.
