DEVELOPMENT HEMBRUG STARTED / by eelco van loenen

From the beginning of 2022, we are working on Gebouw 430. This is the first building of a new museum, which will be located in several existing historic buildings on the Hembrug site. The facade and the authentic curved roofs of Gebouw 430 will be restored to their former glory by bringing back 800 steel windows and installing new steel facade parts made from recycled oil drums. The windows and concrete work will also be tackled.

The new museum will be opened in phases in the coming years. Each building will permanently display work by an international artist. In total, the museum will consist of approximately 10 buildings and ultimately have a total of at least 12,000 m² of exhibition space. The museum will have an international level in size and collection.

Next to the museum we are working on the national monumental building 8, the former head office of the Hembrug site. This building will be opened in the course of 2023 and focuses specifically on companies from the creative sector. The building will have 16 modular studio spaces spread over the ground floor and first floor.
