Welcome at ndsm

NDSM in Amsterdam-Noord is a creative hotspot spanning no less than 10 hectares. What was once an industrial shipyard has become a vibrant area filled with makers, art, culture, hospitality, and innovative entrepreneurship. With impressive views, art in the public space, and plenty of freedom to explore, NDSM is the place where ideas grow and stories come together.

To celebrate the opening, the legendary graffiti artist Bill Blast (Wise/William Cordero) will create new work, give an interview and sign blackbooks on April 11th.

From April 24, the NDSM Giants will be on display at NDSM. Three eight-metre-high concrete sculptures designed by Gabriel Lester (PolyLester) are rising on the site.

IN TUNE is about finding a new balance between human beings and their environment by appealing to our capacity for hearing and listening. Just as tuning a musical instrument requires extremely attentive listening and observation, we must continue to listen and, as humans, tune ourselves to our surroundings. In Tune is active from 12:00 to 17:00, with an interval of 5 minutes.
