H'ART Museum
1 / 7
Hermitage Amsterdam - by Management
Description
The H’ART Museum started operating under its new name in September 2023 after severing ties with the Hermitage in St Petersburg. Currently lacking a permanent collection, it is displayed artwork on loan from other institutions and will hold world class temporary exhibitions over the next 5-6 years in partnerships with Paris’ Centre Pompidou, London's British Museum and Washington DC’s Smithsonian American Art Museum. The first one was mid-June 2024 on W. Kandinsky. The museum is housed in a former retirement home built in the late 17th century in classical style on the banks of the Amstel River. There may still be a permanent exhibition about the history of the building (the Amstelhof).
Access & Transport
Address: Amstel 51, 1018 DR Amsterdam The Waterlooplein metro and tram station (9, 14, 51, 53, 54) is 150m away The nearest carpark is Stadhuis-Muziektheater in Waterlooplein carpark.
Instructions & Recommendations
An all-in ticket is currently only available through the H'ART Museum website and grants admission to the three museums in the same premises: H'ART, Amsterdam Museum and Museum van de Geest. Geographically, this activity can easily be combined with the Hortus Botanicus or Artis Zoo, the Rembrandt House Museum, or the Waterlooplein flea market.
Environmental & Social
The building complies with the BREEAM-NL In-Use standards and has several projects to reduce energy intensity. It also shares excess heat with the Hortus Botanicus. Helps spread culture and the arts.
Conclusion
Too early to comment on the content given the museum just pressed the reset button, it will need time to develop a strong permanent collection. That being said, it certainly benefits from a picturesque setting in a historic building.
Key positive
Nice setting and interesting building history
Partnerships with high profile museums for upcoming temporary exhibitions
Key negative
Not worth the entry price as a standalone
Suitability
Suitable for all ages but children under 12 may not find it very interesting. Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility
