Our museum is located at the NDSM Wharf, a unique part of Amsterdam. Over the past decades, the NDSM area has transformed from a historic industrial site into a vibrant cultural hotspot. Visitors can immerse themselves in the area and be inspired by all the art and creativity found here. Within this vast 10-hectare site, you’ll find various cafés and restaurants, unique businesses, special residents, and all kinds of artists and creatives. Together, we form the NDSM Wharf, a colorful and raw spot with stunning views of the IJ River and the rest of the city—the ultimate place for an authentic day in Amsterdam.
In our series NDSM Portraits, we explore the NDSM Wharf with three creatives. We get to know Lucinda, Khalid, and Sepehr, as well as the wharf and everything it has to offer. Yes, they visit STRAAT, but in these videos, you’ll also discover the NDSM on a deeper level.
