Het Schip Museum - Amsterdam

Museum Het Schip in Amsterdam-West is a must-visit for lovers of architecture and history. Housed in the iconic residential complex ‘Het Schip’, designed by Michel de Klerk in 1919, the museum offers a fascinating introduction to the Amsterdam School, an expressive building and art movement of the early 20th century. The ‘Imagined Ideals’ exhibition shows how the movement responded to the growing housing shortage and social ideals through revolutionary architecture and artistic forms.

Daily guided tours of the impressive building will include a reconstructed hovel, the historic post office and an authentic museum house. Here you will discover how the Amsterdam School was not only a style but also a social movement that had a lasting influence on the city. Open from Tuesday to Sunday, Museum Het Schip offers an inspiring experience for anyone interested in art, architecture and the social history of Amsterdam.
