Did you know that the Amsterdam canals almost had to make way for modern boulevards and office buildings in the 20th century? The exhibition Amsterdam, Almost Demolished<\/em> takes you through the various plans that were drawn up for the city, see never-before-shown archival photographs, you\u2019ll learn how the people of Amsterdam saved their city. <\/strong>This exhibition is on view until June 28, 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

Taking action<\/h3>\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

 <\/p>\n

In-depth story<\/h3>\n

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

\u00a0Amsterdam pets in the spotlight<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Commissioned by the Amsterdam City Archive in 2017, Isabella Rozendaal (Amsterdam, 1983) photographed over a hundred pet portraits across Amsterdam. This collection of portraits, containing dogs, cats, birds, horses, miniature pigs, giant snails, and other exotic animals, was published as a photo book: Animalia Amsterdam: Pet Portraits<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Amsterdam newspaper Het Parool has been publishing weekly editions of Rozendaal\u2019s pet portraits ever since. Since the very first publication, the people of Amsterdam have been submitting their pets to be photographed, which has made this project a unique, enduring collaboration between animals, Amsterdammers, the paper, and the photographer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wall and ceiling paintings<\/h3>\n

The floor of the Andriessen Room, located on the bel-etage of our 17th-century canal house, is temporarily and entirely covered with mirrors. Combined with the richly decorated walls and ceiling, it feels as if you\u2019re standing inside a visual illusion. The 18th-century wall paintings by Jurriaan Andriessen\u2014an idyllic landscape full of romantic details\u2014meet the modern ceiling painting Dream of harmony (2022) by French artist Pascal Amblard.<\/p>\n

This summer, the Museum of the Canals presents the exhibition Love on the Canals \u2013 30 Years of Canal Parade<\/em>. From 3 July to 27 September 2026, you can discover how the Canal Parade has grown into an international symbol of visibility and inclusion. The exhibition is part of the official programme of WorldPride 2026 and uses photographs, personal stories and art to show that Pride is at once a celebration, a protest and cultural heritage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A city in motion<\/h3>\n

Using photographs from various archives, the exhibition shows how what began in 1996 as a celebration to attract more LGBTQIA+ visitors to the city, has grown into a nine-day festival and one of the largest and most remarkable celebrations worldwide. The photo series show different perspectives. The canals are not only a historic backdrop, but also a living stage that reflects what Amsterdam stands for: freedom, diversity and the strength of community.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A special anniversary year<\/h3>\n

For thirty years, Amsterdam\u2019s canals are part of one of the city\u2019s most distinctive events. And 2026 marks a something special because Amsterdam will host WorldPride<\/a> for the first time! At the same time, the city is celebrating important anniversaries, including 80 years of COC Nederland<\/a> and 25 years since same-sex marriage was legalised.<\/p>\n

Art by Yamuna Forzani<\/h3>\n

The exhibition will feature a number of textile works by artist and queer activist Yamuna Forzani. In her work, Yamuna depicts a colourful, utopian queer world, with her community at its centre.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This exhibition has been curated in collaboration with guest curator Gijs Stork.<\/p>\n
