Beautiful building of the “Amsterdam School” of architecture. Take the guided tour, it is very worthwhile and gives a good overview not only of the architecture, but also the social context of moving from slums to social housing. The Amsterdam school is a sister movement to Art Nouveau, and influenced not only architecture but also art and furniture.

The museum is dedicated to the Amsterdam School of Architecture. Would recommend visiting for people who are interested in architecture. There is a guided tour available and this is must visit for everyone (the one starting at 15:00 is in English). Learned a lot about the Amsterdam School, architects of that time and history of Amsterdam society in the beginning of XX century.

Superb museum located inside famous 1920s Amsterdam School-designed social housing block. Excellent, though not huge, display space details history of Amsterdam School as movement in interwar Dutch art and architecture and design, as well as temporary exhibitions, with many authentic, original items on view. 45-minute tours of building in the afternoons on the hour, including one at 3:00 PM in English. English tour led by Bjorn was especially good and informative, even for me, a historian of modern architecture at the Univ of Edinburgh. Staff are very friendly and courteous. Highly recommended, esp for architecture or modern art enthusiasts!

If your are into architecture and the Amsterdam school style, this museum is a must. Tip: at 3pm starts a free guided tour in English and you can visit the port office and one of the old original apartments. Very much worth it to time your visit so you can take part in it. At the museum shop you can buy a book with 4 different bike/walk tours in the city to visit the most significant buildings. The staff was amazing. They were very helpful and gave me a lot of extra information.

[visited in Jan 2023] Famous apartment building for the Amsterdam School movement from the turn of the last century. Very informative permanent exhibition on the Amsterdam School. Highly recommended if you’re interested about why city’s so special from an urban development and architectural point of view.

Very nice museum. Interesting guided tour is definitely worth doing.

The museum takes part of the house. There are dwellers in the other part. The museum consists of apartment, replication of the slum dwelling, permanent and temporary excebition. The architecture is awesome. To get to the apartment you should go to the courtyard via caffe. After that open small wooden green door in the wall next to the section of the house with tower. The permanent excebition offers furniture and art objects in the Amsterdam School period. The text and narrative are both in Dutch and English. There's an English excursion with guide at 15:00. With an exception of the apartment the museum is fully accessible by ♿. There were parking spaces on the street behind museum. Highly recommend walking around whole building. There are a few charming building from the same period behind it. Reserve a few hours for your visit.

The highlight of the museum is the guided tour, which is undoubtedly the best activity offered. Led by knowledgeable and passionate guides, the tour provides deep insights into the history, design, and significance of the Amsterdam School architectural movement. The guides are well-versed in the subject matter and provide fascinating anecdotes and stories that bring the history to life. The building itself is a masterpiece of architecture, designed by Michel de Klerk, one of the prominent architects of the Amsterdam School movement. The intricate brickwork, unique detailing, and innovative use of space are a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the era. The museum does an excellent job of showcasing the building's design elements and explaining the social and cultural context in which it was built.

Het Schip 'the ship' was a amazing- our tour guide knew his stuff- and made the experience a one of a kind- learnt so much about the times that brought about social housing and the Architects who created all the buildings and the influence. The Post was epic

Well worth a visit both from an architectural and social point of view. Very interesting exhibition associated with it. Within easy walking distance of city centre.

(Translated by Google) What makes it so special to visit this museum is the discovery of this pearl in the Spaarndammerbuurt. This can be experienced both indoors and outdoors. You can see and learn a lot about architecture, history and art. Anyway: it will make you a nicer and smarter person. So just come. (Original) Wat het zo bijzonder maakt om dit museum te bezoeken is de ontdekking van deze parel in de Spaarndammerbuurt. Dat kan zowel binnen als buiten ervaren worden. Je kan veel zien en leren over architectuur, geschiedenis en kunst. Hoe dan ook: je gaat er een leuker en slimmer persoon door worden. Dus kom maar gewoon.

Very interesting museum about architecture and socialist housing initiative and history. Surprising as not very much know . Definite must see place in Amsterdam.

It is a fairly big museum now in the old elementary school. Great information about Amsterdamse School architecture style

Beautiful building in a uniquely beautiful neighborhood with perfect Dutch architecture.

(Translated by Google) Nice piece of history between 1900 and 1940. (Original) Leuk stukje historie tussen 1900 en 1940.

If you're wondering how come A'dam is so well designed and street facades follow a pattern, if you're curious about Dutch design or need context for the countless housing rules here, this is a great place to learn how the orderly, picturesque, UNESCO treasure we know came to be relatively recently and not without social and political struggle for justice and equality. Entry includes a great tour by a super friendly medewerker in parts of the building and courtyard.

(Translated by Google) Introduction about Bruno Taut. Impressive stories about his Architektur by, among others, a German specialist as a guest speaker. We had already preceded his work in Berlin last year. (Original) Introductie over Bruno Taut. Indrukwekkende verhalen over zijn Architektur door o.a. een Duitse specialist als gastspreker.

(Translated by Google) One of the architectural highlights in Amsterdam. The entire building 'Het Schip' has the most beautiful brickwork. The museum provides a lot of information about this Amsterdam architectural style. My grandparents used to live under one of the two turrets in Zaanstraat. No revolution construction, but all craftsmanship for the common citizen. Sign up for one of the guided tours of the neighborhood and you will be amazed by so many beautiful things. (Original) Een van de, architectonische, hoogtepunten in Amsterdam. Het hele gebouw 'Het Schip' is voorzien van het mooiste metselwerk. In het museum is veel informatie te krijgen over deze Amsterdamse bouwstijl. Mijn grootouders woonde vroeger onder een van de twee torentjes in de Zaanstraat. Geen revolutiebouw maar allemaal vakmanschap voor de gewone burger. Schrijf je in voor een van de rondleidingen door de buurt en je zult verbaast staan van zoveel moois.

Fantastic residential building from the start of 20th century. Well designed in details and still partly in use for living.

Great museum. Take the tour. Not easy for disabled visitors.

Public housing block from the 1920's with great architectural details. Surrounded by a whole quarter of housing projects from the same Era, this one stands out due to the surprising construction details. If you take the guided tour, be prepared to do it again but with another guide, as they all have their own focus on specific parts of the history of the building. Recently restored with better matching stonework.

Was there after the museum closed, so I don't know about that. But the building and neighborhood are amazing. If you are interested in architecture, it is well worth the visit. Definitely a must see.

The building itself is just magic. A must for good architecture lovers. The staff is very friendly as well. I went to see Bruno Taut exhibition and enjoyed it a lot. Saw as well the permanent exhibition about the architectural movement of the Amsterdam School and was also really good. Strongly recommended!

Built by the people for the people! Socialist housing organisation Eigenhaard build this big block of appartments just east of Amsterdam Central Station, in the old harbour district know as Spaarndammerbuurt. The museum offers a guided tour in Dutch and English which teaches you about the origins of a lot of details about the building. The tour takes you through the integrated Post office and finishes inside one of the many tiny apartments. Want to see what Dutch social housing was like, start in 1900, start here!

Amazing Art Deco, Amsterdam School architecture. Go on the tour it's well worth the 15 Euro entrance fee which included the tour. The staff went that bit further than usual to make sure we enjoyed our experience.

Het Schip is a gorgeous architecture museum about the Amsterdam School in Amsterdam West - it is actually located inside a prime example of the Amsterdam School, the social housing block called "The Ship" (Het Ship). Built by architect Michel de Klerk in 1919 of signature red brick. The museum has a great hourly inside and outside guided tour, a museum floor you can also self guide on very well, and a nice museum cafe for coffee or lunch time dishes. Very friendly volunteers run the show here. Paid for parking is possible on the curbside essentially during museum hours.

I love this museum very much. Firstly, it is because its specific atmosphere, secondly, its location is very convenient. Finally, there are lots of interesting exhibitions which make me happy.

Amazing to dive into the 20th century innovative social preoccupations: architecture from housing to urbanism, the path of modernism. Both permanent and temporary exhibitions were interesting concerning the topics, so as their content and presentation. A must see with the guided visit :))

Beautifull and insightful museum that shows a lot of history of Amsterdam architecture. Beauty created out of a cross pollination between social housing- demands and artistic ideologies.

Very interesting and educational. Learned lots about Amsterdam urban planning beginning last century. Don't miss the 45 min walking tour by the guide.

Lovely staff, fascinating building. With the tour you get to see a few things you would not otherwise. The 2 floors of exhibit are rather disappointing... They did not offer much more than what I can read in a book on the topic. There may be programs/activities that offer more here that I may not be aware of... The coffee shop (lunch room) is lovely.

Worthwhile to visit and learn more about De Amsterdamse School architectural style and its philosophy which in a nutshell was to build quality housing for the working class. Museum card gives "free" access.

This museum is very educational. While the self-guided museum space is excellent, I highly recommend taking the guided tour to see examples of the living spaces and the post office. The guide we had was engaging and very knowledgeable. A great experience!

It’s a great museum with lots of history They have scheduled tours as well - check the website for tour times.

Would recommend this one to all interested in architecture and design. It's a bit far from other museums, but its location is perfectly fine for the context - this is the neighborhood that was built using the principles covered by exhibition. And as a bonus, it's usually not too crowded.

You need to book in advance. The only English tour guid was at 3:00pm. So keep this in mind to check the website. It’s really nice to go there, especially if you are architect ot into architecture. I learned about history of Amsterdam.

Looks like a live decoration to the book The Silver Skates (Hans Brinken). Highly recommended to visit with kids.

A nice, beautiful museum. Had a tour in English. It was very interesting to learn about the architecture in the 19th century. Highly recommend it

The tour was very lovely and was very interesting to see the recreation of the apartments and post office. You are allowed to freely wander around and open cabinets and drawers.

Great place to go by!! Definitely a good place to drop by during your stay in Amsterdam!

Fascinating museum about the social housing and Dutch architecture of the last century. Definitely a must see if you are passionate about architecture,20th century art, art deco, Amsterdam school style and welfare and public health in general

I was expecting something more, given the good reviews. But generally nice and informative. Audio and video explanation are very well done. Worth a visit, to learn about the Amsterdam School.

They give tours for every hour. There’re also English tours if you ask for the other tourists’ consent. The tour guide is really friendly and knowledgeable.

Very impressive and interesting building in the style of Amsterdamse School - about which this is THE museum to visit. Take the free guided tour, for visits of the post office, the courtyard and a full in style furnished little house, which is part of the whole neighbourhood in Amsterdamse School.

Good architecture good tours

Very interesting and unique museum l, worth a visit

Fascinating architectural museum dealing with public housing. The tour of the Post office and example apartment was very interesting and worth doing.

A quirky setting, your assessment will depend on the exhibition

Small and quiet museum. There is a tour that takes you inside some interesting parts of the building. There is an option in English for this tour.
