Jan Smit (I), View of the Kloveniersburgwal in Amsterdam with the Trippenhuis and the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt.
The Kloveniersburgwal is an Amsterdam canal, between the Nieuwmarkt and the Amstel, east of Dam Square in the centre of Amsterdam.
The Trippenhuis is a palatial building at Kloveniersburgwal 29 in Amsterdam. The Trippenhuis is one of the last examples of Dutch classicism in Amsterdam. Since 1812, it has been used by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and its predecessor the Royal Institute of Sciences, Letters and Fine Arts.
The Waag is a 15th century building on the Nieuwmarkt in the centre of Amsterdam. It was originally a city gate. The current name refers to its later function as a weigh-house.
The building has had a series of other functions, including guildhall, museum, fire station and anatomical theatre. The painting The anatomy lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt shows the dissection of a corpse in the Waag.
