What does the future look like? And who actually determines what the future is? For the third edition of the biennial presentation Refresh Amsterdam, the Amsterdam Museum invites artists and the public to dream, explore and create. What has the future in store for us?  In the exhibition, artists and the public guide you through their wishes, expectations and fantasies for the future. Refresh Amsterdam #3: Imagine the Future will be shown from July 11 to November 30, 2025, at the Amsterdam Museum on the Amstel (Amstel 51, H’ART Museum building).

Step into the past within the impressive Willet-Holthuysen House in the center of Amsterdam. This double mansion on the Herengracht contains many period rooms, spaces seemingly frozen in time. Every six months an exhibition by a contemporary maker is also held here, while the French-style garden remains a calm oasis in the midst of the bustling canal belt.

To mark the anniversary of 80 Years of Freedom in the Netherlands, the Amsterdam Museum presents “Friede auf Erden”: Art and War at the Willet-Holthuysen House. In this exhibition, artist duo Sander Breure and Witte van Hulzen revive the hidden wartime history of the Willet-Holthuysen House through a new video installation, along with photographs, drawings, and paintings.
