Hartwig Art Foundation and Van Eesteren Museum join forces for this unique one-and-a-half-hour architecture tour around the Parnassusweg. Sandwiched between Berlage’s Plan Zuid and Van Eesteren’s Buitenveldert, this is a unique piece of Amsterdam, where modernist experiments, early structuralist masterpieces and contemporary surprises alternate with one another.
The walk centres on the transformation of Ben Loerakker’s former courthouse, the future Hartwig museum. The walk then continues to the Warnersblokken, the Rietveld Academie and the Burgerweeshuis. A professional guide also leads visitors past a large number of lesser-known but equally surprising buildings and artworks that make this part of Amsterdam so unique.
