Especially for the jubilee year, a new children’s book has been released, The Treasure of Amsterdam, written by Jan Paul Schutten and illustrated by Gozde Eyce. This luxurious Little Golden Book takes children on an adventure through the city's rich history. Alongside Adam and Noor, readers discover the mysterious story of a hidden treasure in the Old Church. Was it gold, diamonds, or something unexpected?

On the city’s 749th birthday, a special breakfast took place at the City Archives to celebrate the launch of The Treasure of Amsterdam. During this festive program, the mayor and the child mayor presented the first copies to residents who have contributed to Amsterdam in remarkable ways. A book that brings history to life.
