ZAMU

Nineteen sculptures. That’s how ZAMU began. Right here on the Vulhuis. Can you imagine? Nineteen works by John Chamberlain. Bold forms of crushed and painted metal. They stand proudly. This isn’t just any museum. ZAMU is the Zaanstad Amsterdam Museum. A unique concept. Sixteen independent buildings. Each dedicated to a different 20th and 21st century artist. ZAMU is monumental. It’s three times the size of the Rijksmuseum. Think about that. A sprawling complex on the river Zaan. Nine kilometers north of Amsterdam’s central station. It’s a work in progress. But what a work. A stunning garden by Piet Oudolf was created in 2023. Wildflowers bloom in vibrant colors around these industrial buildings. The museum itself is set to open in the fall of 2025. Imagine strolling through the ever-changing garden. Chamberlain’s sculptures are just the beginning. The permanent installations will create a unique artistic journey. A testament to collaboration. A celebration of art in unexpected spaces. This isn’t just a museum. ZAMU is an experience. A destination. A place where art and nature unite. A place you won’t soon forget. So soak it in. Feel the anticipation. For ZAMU is a place that will continue to evolve and surprise. It’s a museum unlike any other. A vision realised. Here it is. ZAMU.
