• Science and the body: The second floor covers cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system, medical research and changing attitudes towards the plant, including the legal side.
• Modern culture: On the third floor you discover how cannabis is grown and experienced today, and learn more about Amsterdam's famous coffeeshops and their place in Dutch culture.
• Interactive: Interactive displays, art, historical objects and live plants make the exhibition accessible, even if you know little about the subject.
• Audio guide: You explore the museum at your own pace, with an audio guide or with explanations from the guides on site.
