Museum Het Schip is located in the imaginative public housing complex designed by architect Michel de Klerk. This expressionist housing block was built in 1919 for the housing corporation Eigen Haard. Because of its shape, the building is popularly known as The Ship. It belongs to the top of the Amsterdam School, a movement in construction and decoration that spread throughout the Netherlands.
Recently, we have been overwhelmed with heart-warming attention, support and initiatives to save our beautiful museum. We are extremely grateful to everyone who has contributed in any way. But we are not there yet.
From 6 March 2020 to 29 August 2021, Museum Het Schip presents ‘Bruno Taut: Beyond Fantasy’.
From 8 September 2020 Museum Het Schip will highlight the treasure of his collection: the formal postoffice by Michel de Klerk.
From 19 March to 3 October 2021, Museum Het Schip shows, in cooperation with the RCE and the University of Amsterdam, the art project 'Limitless Content'.
- Starting location: Museum De Dageraad
