The architecture of the Netherlands is one of the many compelling reasons why you should definitely visit this country: fairy-tale houses in every color of the rainbow standing over numerous canals, magnificent Renaissance buildings, and stunning examples of Gothic architecture here are generously seasoned with fantastic structures in high-tech, modernist, and cubist styles.
This variety of styles, shapes, and colors will leave no one indifferent and will spark a lively interest in the history of Dutch architecture. You can satisfy your thirst for knowledge and curiosity on this subject at the ARCAM Architecture Centre.
The museum building is itself a work of art, erected from glass and metal and representing a combination of curved lines and smooth forms. The creation of architect Rene van Zuuk became a true symbol of modern architecture in 1986.
Once inside this futuristic structure, you will be able to explore themed exhibitions, conceptual projects by contemporary architects, and very real models of buildings that will soon be constructed, as well as the history of Amsterdam architecture from the 8th century to the present day.
In addition to architecture, ARCAM also pays attention to building interiors. Here you can discover the latest in interior and furniture design, browse brochures and magazines, and draw ideas for renovating and decorating your home.
