Why we say this

Insider secrets & local vibes

Wall-sized murals in a raw industrial shipyard hangar make it an exhilarating, under-the-radar art hit.

Not independently verified — estimated

With 150-plus large works it is far better value than the small central art museums.

Not independently verified — estimated

It is across the IJ in the NDSM district, so it takes a deliberate ferry trip and the area is post-industrial, not pretty.
