Museum Amsterdam Noord from the Badhuis Vogeldorp

A restored bathhouse from 1919 is the starting point for stories about neighbourhoods, residents and changes in Amsterdam-Noord.

Plan your visit ↗

The bathhouse as a neighbourhood facility

Look at the tiling, layout and entrances and ask how men, women or families used the building. The building itself gives social history a spatial form.

Noord in permanent themes

Photos, maps and objects show Vogeldorp and other parts of Noord. Choose one street and follow how housing, industry or infrastructure changes there over time.

Current affairs in temporary galleries

Temporary exhibitions link history with present-day neighbourhood issues. Check which display is on and clearly separate a historical source from a present-day artist’s interpretation.

Before you go

Thursday–Sunday 13.00–17.00; a group visit or a cycling or walking tour outside those hours requires prior arrangement.
