A modern city of glass and steel<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Just imagine: the canal houses, narrow streets and squares of Amsterdam’s city centre replaced by a modern city of glass and steel. In the 20th century, this scenario very nearly became reality. And not without reason: the city centre was in a state of decay at that time. There were plans to replace old neighbourhoods with modern districts, complete with wide motorways and large office buildings. The Grachtenmuseum at Herengracht 386, for instance, would not exist today if all proposed traffic breakthroughs had gone ahead.<\/p>\n

Taking action<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Fortunately, things turned out differently. The people of Amsterdam took action; local residents, artists and heritage enthusiasts fought throughout the 20th century to preserve their city. This exhibition guides you through the story of imminent demolition, fierce protests and, ultimately, complete restoration. Discover how Amsterdammers saved their city, and why we can still enjoy it every day. The exhibition also presents never-before-seen archival photos, special drawings, maps and protest posters.<\/p>\n

In-depth story<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The exhibition was created in collaboration with the Vereniging Vrienden van de Amsterdamse Binnenstad. A book of the same name will be published in early 2026 and offers an expanded exploration of the stories featured in the exhibition.<\/p>\n

Ga op speurtocht in de Andriessenzaal van het Grachtenmuseum in Amsterdam. Kinderen kunnen in het museum op speurtocht gaan door onze Andriessenzaal. Deze kamer is vernoemd naar de maker van de muurschilderingen: Jurriaan Andriessen. Ga mee op speurtocht door deze kamer, met hulp van\u00a0Benjamin<\/em>, de hond van Jurriaan Andriessen. Als teckel is Benjamin de beste in het opspeuren van verstopte, kleine bijzonderheden. Hij weet alles te vinden in de Andriessenzaal. Lukt jou dit ook? \ud83d\udd0e<\/span><\/p>\n

Vraag de speurtocht bij de balie en speuren maar! Als je klaar bent kun je hier ook de antwoorden controleren.<\/span><\/p>\n
