The Amsterdam Museum has taken residence at H'ART Museum since 9 March 2022. During a large-scale renovation of the monumental
Burgerweeshuis (Civil Orphanage), the Amsterdam Museum will find its
temporary home here. This includes a completely new range of exhibitions,
public programs and children's activities.
Amsterdam Museum wing
From March 2022 until 2025, the Amsterdam Museum will present an
entirely new collection in H'ART Museum Museum Wing, which will
not only present the traditional history of Amsterdam, but also offer plenty of
space for opposing views and lesser-known and more recent histories of the
city. In addition, alternating exhibitions will feature the city's residents
and enthusiasts who will be able to show 'their Amsterdam'. The annex of the
Amsterdam Museum in H'ART Museum will show visitors, with familiar objects
from the collection and new or less familiar works, that there is no single
history of the city.
Panorama Amsterdam: a living history of the city
Panorama Amsterdam reveals the many facets of the city. What are the
foremost characteristics that define Amsterdam? And has it always been that
way? How will the city continue to develop? By connecting stories from the
past, present, and future, a broader perspective of the city emerges:
Amsterdam, in all its dimensions.
Over 250 objects are displayed here, giving the visitor a multifaceted
picture of the many histories of the city of Amsterdam: classic icons from the
city's collection by Lingelbach and Rembrandt, but also emerging artists such
as Raquel Haver, Natasja Kensmil and Brian Elstak.
Cabinets
There is also room for smaller exhibitions that tell the stories of the
city today. From Continue This Thread to The Maasdamme Collection and Collecting
the City, which change every six months and make room for new narrators and new
stories from the city of Amsterdam.
The Amsterdam Museum is also hosting an extensive education and public program in its temporary home at H'ART Museum.
