Het Schip lets public housing speak in brick

Michel de Klerk’s 1919 housing block is at once collection and museum about the Amsterdam School, craftsmanship and the development of social housing.

Plan your visit ↗

The façade as three-dimensional design

First walk round the complex and notice the brick bond, windows, towers and sculptural lines. Ask how aesthetics and housing function are combined in the same design.

Homes for working-class families

Museum rooms place the architecture in the context of public housing and the commissioning role of Eigen Haard. Compare a floor plan with a furnished or described home to understand scale and everyday use.

Het Schip is not De Dageraad

The satellite venue in Zuid has its own hours and a different address. A combined story about the same architectural movement does not mean that one ticket or schedule automatically applies to both.

Before you go

Museum Het Schip is open Tuesday–Sunday 11:00–17:00. Check for current changes. The satellite venue De Dageraad has its own address and schedule.
