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 — estimatedWith 150-plus large works it is far better value than the small central art museums.
Not independently verified — estimatedIt is across the IJ in the NDSM district, so it takes a deliberate ferry trip and the area is post-industrial, not pretty.
