When Kendra was in Amsterdam several years ago she visited a historic house that I hadn't heard of and now can't remember the name of that had a costume collection. You can ask her, or go digging through her blog.
My mother says there's a costume museum in Den Haag (The Hague), if you have time to hike over there. I'm not entirely sure what she's talking about though. This website: http://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/the-hague-nl-zh-hague.htm says there's a costume museum at No. 14 Lange Vijverberg, but the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag apparently has "the most important collections of fashion in the world": http://www.geheugenvannederland.nl/?/en/collecties/modetijdschrift_de_gracieuse/de_kostuumafdeling_van_het_gemeentemuseum_den_haag_ I will second the suggestion for getting rijstafel. I can't speak for the specific restaurant that Teena recommended, but I can certainly recommend the meal (just be prepared to eat a lot). Happy travels, and have some friet met pindasambaal for me while you're there (if you're not allergic to peanuts, that is).
