In the heart of Amsterdam on the Keizersgracht the house of the Amsterdam regent family Van Loon can still be seen. Seven days a week the family opens their home and collection to the public. Get a glimpse of the life of the Amsterdam Van Loon family in one of the finest canal houses of the city. Due to corona measures, the museum is temporarily closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (but still open for private tours and rental opportunities).

Visitors can tour this 17th-century canal-side house in Amsterdam, which is filled with furnished period rooms and works of art that were donated by the owner Louisa Willet-Holthuysen to the city in 1895.

Amsterdam’s 1st photography museum, est 1999. Two 17th-century canal houses with 14 exhibition spaces, library, bookshop and garden(house). Huis Marseille has been offering a varied exhibition program in which photography's rich history and diverse uses are given consideration. The museum provides a view of the 'landscape' taking shape in photography; it presents photographers, artists and forms of photography which do justice to visual quality and which can be counted among the medium's major, but also lesser known, highlights. This stands in contrast to the profusion of photography as a mass medium. The unique structure of this house plays a significant role. Each of the fourteen exhibition spaces has its own specific character. The building still has the atmosphere of a 'gentleman's residence', but its rooms have now become galleries. A sense of warmth and intimacy has remained. Huis Marseille strives to make the visitor feel welcome in these home-like surroundings.

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.

Behind the wave-shaped facade of the famous working-class housing complex De Dageraad, you will find information about the art and architecture of the Amsterdam School. At the beginning of the last century, H.P. Berlage designed the now famous Plan Zuid. He introduced a new way of urban planning, in which there was room for wide streets, atmospheric squares and green parks. The characteristic architecture of the many Amsterdam School artists still adorns the street plan. The expressionistic facades and beautiful ornaments are recognizable throughout the neighborhood. Residential complex De Dageraad is the Amsterdam School in its purest form. Architects Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer were commissioned to design all facets of the streetscape. In addition to the street facades, they also designed the rear facades and floor plans. This led to a form of total art in which beauty was central. Museum De Dageraad is the starting point for many walks and cycling tours in the neighbourhood.

Warning: You can't find our exhibitions at this adress, look at the website for current exhibition venues! (In Amsterdam and other places in the Netherlands.) The Bijbels Museum is a nomadic Museum that produces temporary art exhibitions that travel across the city and the country. We present them in collaboration with many different museums, churches and other venues in the Netherlands in Amsterdam and (a.o.) The Hague, Middelburg, Ter Apel, Zwolle and Amersfoort. The exhibitions are always inspired by the Bible, or stories related to the Bible. We often relate with other religions too. We work mostly with young artists. Get inspired by our exhibitions that offer opportunities for reflection and inspiration! Most of our present exhibitions are bilingual or do not need texts. We do not have a permanent museum in Amsterdam anymore. Our collection has been transferred to many important museums, which are taking good care of it.
