Very interesting museum about the architecture of Amsterdam and the style developed in the city. I recommend taking the guided tour.

The building itself is just magic. A must for good architecture lovers. The staff is very friendly as well. I went to see Bruno Taut exhibition and enjoyed it a lot. Saw as well the permanent exhibition about the architectural movement of the Amsterdam School and was also really good. Strongly recommended!

Fascinating architectural museum dealing with public housing. The tour of the Post office and example apartment was very interesting and worth doing.

Superb museum located inside famous 1920s Amsterdam School-designed social housing block. Excellent, though not huge, display space details history of Amsterdam School as movement in interwar Dutch art and architecture and design, as well as temporary exhibitions, with many authentic, original items on view. 45-minute tours of building in the afternoons on the hour, including one at 3:00 PM in English. English tour led by Bjorn was especially good and informative, even for me, a historian of modern architecture at the Univ of Edinburgh. Staff are very friendly and courteous. Highly recommended, esp for architecture or modern art enthusiasts!

Amazing Art Deco, Amsterdam School architecture. Go on the tour its well worth the 15 Euro entrance fee which included the tour. The staff went that bit further than usual to make sure we enjoyed our experience.

Beautiful building of the “Amsterdam School” of architecture. Take the guided tour, it is very worthwhile and gives a good overview not only of the architecture, but also the social context of moving from slums to social housing. The Amsterdam school is a sister movement to Art Nouveau, and influenced not only architecture but also art and furniture.

This is one of my favourite museums to visit here in my hometown. Gorgeous building and dedicated tour guides.

Very interesting Museum about the Amsterdam School in an appropriate building. You also get a guided tour, and at the moment there is a Gaudí exhibition. Very friendly and helpful staff!

Really interesting museum! Our guide was super informative and helpful. The flip cards about street furniture in the lunchroom are great, too! You can even learn while you have a toasti!

Built by the people for the people! Socialist housing organisation Eigenhaard build this big block of appartments just east of Amsterdam Central Station, in the old harbour district know as Spaarndammerbuurt.The museum offers a guided tour in Dutch and English which teaches you about the origins of a lot of details about the building. The tour takes you through the integrated Post office and finishes inside one of the many tiny apartments.Want to see what Dutch social housing was like, start in 1900, start here!

Great tour: recommend if you are interested in architecture and in the history of social housing in the beginning of the 20th century.

Amazing tour and a great day out in Amsterdam

Small and quiet museum. There is a tour that takes you inside some interesting parts of the building. There is an option in English for this tour.

Unique and impressive complex of buildings with museum. Quite not mainstream turistic place. I was mesmerised despite part was covered by scafoldings. If youre enjoying architecture that a must see! Ill be back!

Nice experience

Public housing block from the 1920s with great architectural details. Surrounded by a whole quarter of housing projects from the same Era, this one stands out due to the surprising construction details.If you take the guided tour, be prepared to do it again but with another guide, as they all have their own focus on specific parts of the history of the building.Recently restored with better matching stonework.

Was there after the museum closed, so I dont know about that. But the building and neighborhood are amazing. If you are interested in architecture, it is well worth the visit. Definitely a must see.

A must see when in Amsterdam

A hidden gem thats off the beaten path. Highly recommended for architecture and urban planning enthusiasts.

Nice museum but little known! Worth visiting .

Good presentation of the architecture, very nicely adapted to the Corona times

Well worth a visit both from an architectural and social point of view. Very interesting exhibition associated with it. Within easy walking distance of city centre.

Het Schip the ship was a amazing- our tour guide knew his stuff- and made the experience a one of a kind- learnt so much about the times that brought about social housing and the Architects who created all the buildings and the influence. The Post was epic

Lots of very interesting information about socialism, the poor of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam School. There is also a very nice eet cafe.There are also many beautiful apartment buildings in the area besides Het Schip.

A great place for architecture lovers. The staff is really passionate about what they doing which is always good. Make sure to take a tour around the building (included), it is worth it

Het Schip is a gorgeous architecture museum about the Amsterdam School in Amsterdam West - it is actually located inside a prime example of the Amsterdam School, the social housing block called The Ship (Het Ship). Built by architect Michel de Klerk in 1919 of signature red brick. The museum has a great hourly inside and outside guided tour, a museum floor you can also self guide on very well, and a nice museum cafe for coffee or lunch time dishes. Very friendly volunteers run the show here. Paid for parking is possible on the curbside essentially during museum hours.

Very interesting and unique museum l, worth a visit

A hidden gem in a less-visited but interesting part of Amsterdam. The museum offers a fascinating introduction into Amsterdam School architecture and social housing. Together with the pianola museum, my favourite smaller museum in Amsterdam.

We had a great tour by a superb guide (Vera I thought her name was?). She knew so many details of the buildings and information about the architecture. We had a great time!!

A quirky setting, your assessment will depend on the exhibition

The museum was great, especially if you enjoy architecture. We went to an exhibition of Gaudí, which contained some wonderful pieces. Everything was also available for English speakers. An interesting place worth a visit.

An interesting combination of history and artful architecture. Also gives a good insight into a workers life pre world war 1

An excellent museum that showcases the development of social housing in Amsterdam and by extension in the Netherlands.The museum is housed in one of the key architectural examples of social housing, known as the ship. Well worth a visit which includes a tour ( There is one in English at 15.00 hours).

This is the best place to go to read up on the typically Dutch variant of Art Deco, the Amsterdamse School. Offers informative tours that give you an insight on not just the architecture from one of the culturally richest period in history, but also on the social movement that occampanied it. Including the way people lived and decorated the interior.

Very good tour guide explaining the history and philosophy of Amsterdamse School architectural style.

Super interesting museum if you’re into architecture, design and learning more about the evolution of the city of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam school of architecture style.

You might not be an architect nor keenly interested in Architecture and stuff but you surely are human and cannot possibly help to admire and respect this outstanding achievement of men for other fellow men.

Great museum detailing the architecture history of Amsterdam School. Theres also a tour and explanation of the rise of this amazing style. Our tour guide was really good and was well Amsterdam schooled.

Amazing display and a unique architectural experience in Amsterdam, especially were the somewhat ubiquitous lower half of buildings can get boring after a few days. The Amsterdamse school of architecture at its best. There are walking tour every hour or so, so check their website. English tour is only once a day, but there is an information card you can use as you explore the museum.

Very nice museum, I went for a lecture here. It is decent with uniwue architectural form of the tower.

Great guided tour, warmly recommended. Going through the rooms requires time to understand what you see. Prices at the cafe are a bit steep.

A must on your visit to Amsterdam. A beautiful building built with ideas to serve the working class the best they could. With a spire of its own to add a socialist structure to a city filled with religious or ruling class palace spires.

Very interesting museum about the Amsterdamse School architecture movement. Be sure to join one of the free guidedtours that starts on the whole hour, cause then you can see more than just the museum: You walk around the beautiful complex, get to see a post office and a home in 1920’s style.

Very nice tour to do. Guided tour couldve been better, but still impressive... Nice and quiet alternative to the big museums. Definitely one to visit.

Nice museum, not very known, about the life conditions of the workers in Amsterdam in the beginning of the 20th century. The building itself is quite unique and special, and is worth a visit, due to the curvy shapes and the mix of functional and decorative elements.They also have some explanations and guides tours starting every hour, about how workers lived before the Amsterdam Municipality started supporting this kind of social housing.By the end of the tour you can also see some examples of Urban furniture designed by the architects of the Amsterdam School. This architects conceived the building as part of the neighborhood, and designed also the urban spaces surrounding the buildings, and as result of this interest came some of this postboxes, electric closets, or signs.

Very interesting and unique museum with permanent exhibition about Amsterdam school of architecture and of course other exhibitions...

I loved this museum, especially the effort to convey information on small architectural details that collectively contribute so much to the Amsterdam Schools style. Ive lived in Amsterdam for several years and still learned a great deal from this museum.

Fantastic, one of the most interesting Muesems Ive been to, and an essential visit for anyone interested in Architecture or social history

History about Amsterdams social housing, worth a visit. The tour guide (Elise) gives a very nice introduction in a walking tour around the community. Museum card can allow free entrance and the tour.

Fantastic place! One for Art Deco lovers!Fantastic place! One for Art Deco lovers!

The best museums are those that manage to turn a dry subject into something fascinating and leave you with a different perspective on the world. Im a recent transplant to Amsterdam, currently living in the South of Amsterdam, and I would describe my interest in architecture as passing. My girlfriend, though, is much more interested, so we checked out this museum.I think what I most liked about this place is that they assumed almost no foreknowledge of Amsterdam School Architecture at all, and really drew a clear line between the history of the city, to the moment in time that precipitated the movent, to the particulars of the style. This wasnt just about describing the shape of the columns or the placement of flying buttresses or things like that; I rather, it was all about understanding WHY the architects made the decisions they did, why they choose the materials they did, etc. No longer was architecture just a peculiar way of building, it was a clear expression of a political and economic movement, properly framed in a context I could understand.After leaving, I started to notice things about the buildings in my neighborhood I never saw before, and my morning commute became far more interesting than it had been previously. Hell, now I actually want to learn more about the style and find more buildings exhibiting it, so you could say it changed my perspective.The entrance price of €12.50 includes a guided tour by an enthusiastic and friendly guide, and theres an English language tour available daily at 15:00. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the whole place was very clean and well-maintained. If youre at all interested in modern architecture or early 20th century social movements, you cant miss this gem of a museum in Amsterdam!

If you are interested in architecture history, Het Schip is really to be visited!

Very interesting, interactive museum. Well worth finding it, a bit out of the way. Enthusiastic and well informed staff. Beautifully renovatd ambients.

Not much to see, especially now that they are renovating. But the tour (every hour) was nice and informative and includes entrance to closed parts of the museum.

I arrived first thing and received a private tour. 😀 Lovely place with friendly knowledgeable staff.

Great place to visit for those interested in the Amsterdam School of architecture and the history of Dutch social housing.

A place that you must see. Too rarely visited by tourists. Work of Michel de Klerk, carefully restored between 2015 and 2018. There are some similarities between Gaudis projects and Het Schip. However, Gaudi built buildings and gated estates for manufacturers, church and financiers - Het Schip is a workers palace, designed as housing for ordinary working people. The people united will never be defeated! Long live socialism!

Go there, go.Take the guided tour.Enjoy and learn about Amsterdam and Dutch history.

Niche museum that gives a loving overview of the Amsterdamse School. Guided tour an absolute must.

Nice museum for those who like architecture.. includes (if you want) tours by bike of bus through Amsterdam watching amsterdamse school style buildings.

Tour in English at 3pm, where you can see additional parts of the building. Manageable size and beautiful architecture, as well as part of the early 1900s history of Amsterdam

Nice museum with an eye for detail about design amsterdamse school

Stunning example of the Amsterdamse School

Fantastic art deco museum

Interesting to find out the history

The free tour is a must. Otherwise the ticket price isnt worth it.

Nice ,cosy museum about traits of the Amsterdam architecture school of the 20th century.

Very interesting tours about architecture and social life in Amsterdam in the early 20th century.

One of my favorite museums in Amsterdam. THE place to go if you like architecture, especially the early 20th century. All about Amsterdamseschool (Amsterdams school) style and architect Berlage. If you get the chance to enter the residential part of the building just aside the museum: go have a look!

Musee genial.. great museum great staff

Amazing architecture and a wealth of information about life (in Amsterdam) in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Amsterdam School at its best. Must visit.

Very nice museum integrated in the social housing building designed by Michel de Klerk. The building is now being restored so is not possible to have acess to all of it.

Great architecture, with a very friendly and enthousiastic guide. A must see for anyone interested in 20th century architecture.

Great museum about stunning Dutch architecture

Nice tour about way people lived here at the beginning of 20th century.
