Het Gangenproject: reading the Jordaan on the street

The Gangenproject of the Jordaanmuseum is located in the public space on the Willemsstraat. Panels, tiles and name signs tell of vanished alleys in the neighbourhood.

Plan your visit ↗

A name as a trace

An alley name can make visible something you no longer find as a building or passageway. Read the explanation at the spot to understand which part of the neighbourhood’s story is being pointed out.

An attentive walk

The information is spread along the street. Take time to look at text and surroundings side by side, while being considerate of residents, pedestrians and other users of the public space.

With a guide

Guided walks by appointment are mentioned. They can offer additional explanation, but are a separate activity alongside viewing the street panels on your own.

Before you go

No regular museum hours apply to the outdoor project. Confirm a guided-tour appointment directly and allow for any works or temporary restrictions in the public space.
