STRAAT museum launches her new exhibition, The Essence, on April 10th. It’s all about diving into what drives graffiti - the names, tags, lines and repetition - as its own visual language. The show follows graffiti’s journey from the underground in New York City to a global movement that inspires modern art. 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.

The IJ-Hallen are the largest flea market in Europe and take place about once every three weeks on the outside of NDSM (spring and summer) or inside the NDSM Loods (autumn and winter). Are you looking for that one pair of vintage sneakers, a new antique wall mirror, a large selection of LP records, or just some new additions to your wardrobe? Come and browse the stalls at NDSM!

The Transit exhibition investigates the transformation of industry through the climate transition. The complex relationship between climate, industry, and prosperity is central. The exhibition concludes the five-year study, which approaches the transition legally, politically, and ethically, with the central question of who bears the responsibility and burden and who benefits.

Stichting NDSM-werf organizes special Kunst Toers along the artworks that can be found outside on the NDSM-werf. During this walk, you will hear more about the temporary artworks, the makers, and why they fit in at NDSM. The Kunst Toers is usually given by artist Su Tomesen and a special guest such as one of the artists. The first Kunst Toers by Su Tomesen will take place on April 19, 2026, with artist Bart Eysink Smets.

From April 24, the NDSM Giants will be on display at NDSM. Three eight-metre-high concrete sculptures by designer Gabriel Lester (PolyLester) are rising on the site. The giant basketball players, caught in movement, show from varying perspectives an exciting game between stillness and dynamism, between figuration and abstraction. The official opening will take place on April 23.

Under Pressure is the winning project of the NDSM Open Call 2023 by Catarina Garcia and Jim Du Pan. The winning proposal consists of a colossal steel sphere that appears to rise above the shipyard. The base of the work is formed by Crane 7, a derelict crane that in its heyday transported pieces of steel from the warehouse to the slipways, where ships were assembled and restored. The sphere is illuminated from within and functions as a beacon of light for the surrounding area, also visible from the water. The frame of the sphere is wrapped in plants that change with the seasons.

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.
