Perron Oost shows art from a vanished railway line

A monumental platform on the Cruquiusweg hosts temporary installations and an audio tour about the railway, the cattle market, the abattoir and the changing Cruquiuseiland.

Plan your visit ↗

The platform remains visible

Look at the edge, paving and location before interpreting the art installation. The heritage object determines how a work is approached and from what distance it can be seen.

An exhibition without gallery hours

Many displays can be seen day and night from the public platform. That does not mean an indoor space, artist talk or activity is freely accessible; these follow announced times.

Audio tour through vanished places

The route tells of functions that have disappeared from today’s streetscape. Stop at one location and compare the audio story, an old source and what can still demonstrably be found on site.

Before you go

No fixed indoor schedule: view installations from the platform and check the calendar for openings, finissages and guided activities.
