My favourite station is Rokin, because it includes an amazing display of these artifacts (from Roman dishes to Nokia 3310s) in between the escalators that take you to the platform. It's incredible.
This is basically just a massive database of litter that documents what people threw in the canal over the centuries. It is interesting to see the materials change as you scroll from the older dates up to the present day.
Brings back a range of memories. I was one of the archaeologists on the project near the Amsterdam central station, a dig site accessible through an airlock because it was inside of the "caisson" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_(engineering)) that was lowered into the old Amstel riverbed. It was the weirdest archaeological project I have participated in, by quite a wide margin, being inside a complex engineering project.
Also, after making a career switch from archaeology to software engineering, even weirder to see my former occupation and project dig site re-emerge here on HN

IIRC it was my first mobile.
Never used Nokia though it had major market share those days.
