Kunsthuis Waterland changes with every exhibition

In Purmerend, the art centre presents temporary visual art, from sculpture to abstract work, with no promise of a permanent collection.

Plan your visit ↗

Material first

With sculpture, look at weight, surface and joins before you name the subject. Ask why the maker chose this particular material.

Abstract art calls for comparison

Colour, rhythm and plane become clearer when two works are viewed side by side. Describe what is visible before you read the gallery text.

The calendar determines the content

An earlier artist’s name does not prove what is on show now. Check the current exhibition and allow for short closures during changeovers.

Before you go

Wednesday–Saturday 11.00–16.00; closed on Monday, Tuesday and Sunday. Check public holidays and exhibition changeovers.
