Museum The Ship is located in the imaginative social housing complex ofthe same name designed by architect Michel de Klerk. This expressionistic housing block was built in 1919 for social housing corporation Eigen Haard. The triangular shape of the building inspired its nickname “The Ship”. It is one of the best examples of the “Amsterdam School”– a movement in architecture and decorative arts that spread across all of the Netherlands.
The museum, the museum shop and the lunchroom with large courtyard garden are open.
From 6 March 2020 to 17 January 2021, Museum Het Schip presents ‘Bruno Taut: Beyond Fantasy’.
