Zaanse Schans + bus ticket
Looking around you at the Zaanse Schans, you will see nothing but history. A feeling of nostalgia will strike you when you see the wooden facades, the slit windows, and the low doors. Here, centuries of memories are like footprints of history resounding in each chamber. Hundreds of years ago, people slept, cooked, laughed, cried, loved, argued, and were born and died within these walls. And still, the Zaanse Schans lives on, because all premises are lived in.
NXT Museum
Based in North Amsterdam, Nxt Museum is the first museum in the Netherlands dedicated to new media art. They focus on art that uses modern tools to embody modern times. That makes them the perfect means to understand contemporary complexities allowing us to recognize, relate, and reflect on our realities. The space is built specifically to explore new media art; art that expands technical possibilities and applications, is dynamic and unbound by form, and that generates movement whether physical, mental, or emotional.
