Museum JAN: glass and art in the Oude Dorp

Museum JAN in Amstelveen combines glass art with modern and contemporary art and design. The collection forms a permanent basis for changing exhibitions.

Plan your visit ↗

Giving glass attention

With glass art you can look at colour, transparency and the outline of an object. View a work from more than one position. Then read the explanation to connect material and form with the maker’s background.

More than one art form

Besides glass there are other art and design exhibitions. The combination may prompt you to compare how different materials are used. There is a JAN JUNIOR trail for young visitors; ask what is available at the time.

Temporarily less to see

In September 2026 the large galleries are closed from 15 to 22 September inclusive for changeover. On 22 September the whole museum is closed. So check which parts you can visit, especially if a specific exhibition is the reason for your trip.

Before you go

Check the changeover notice: large galleries closed until 22 September 2026 inclusive, and the whole museum closed on that Tuesday.
