Van Eesteren Museum reads Nieuw-West inside and out

A pavilion, a 1950s home and walks through Slotermeer make the urban planning of the garden cities visible on three different scales.

Plan your visit ↗

The plan in the pavilion

Maps and models show functions, green space and traffic from above. Choose one building plot and use the legend to find out how housing, amenities and public space are divided.

The home from inside

The museum home makes room sizes, furniture and household life tangible. It is located elsewhere and is not wheelchair accessible; a separate ticket and departure time are required.

Outdoor museum through Slotermeer

During the walk you test the plan and the home against the streets and green strips. Notice what has changed since construction and which original structure still works.

Before you go

Thursday–Sunday 12.00–17.00; the home and the walks have separate times. The pavilion is more accessible than the home with its stairs.
