The Drift Museum, set to open its doors this year, is a promising addition to Amsterdam's cultural scene. Housed in the historic Van Gendt Hallen, the museum provides a platform for the experimental art installations of Studio Drift, founded by visionaries Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta.
The museum will feature an impressive exhibition space of 8.000 m² include, where visitors can immerse themselves in a world of innovative art that emphasizes the connection between man and nature.
"The Drift Museum is the result of everything we have been working toward for the past 17 years. We hope it will be a place that evokes wonder and emotional responses from our visitors and where they feel more connected to our planet and nature." - Lonneke Gordijn.
A Sustainable Monument
The initiative focuses not only on art, but also on sustainability. Eduard Zanen of the Van Gendt Hallen emphasizes, "I see it as my responsibility to preserve the building for the future and create a place where entrepreneurship, art and technology come together. Innovative restoration techniques and repairing instead of replacing create an energy-neutral national monument." This approach supports the industry's commitment to an environmentally friendly future.
With the Drift Museum, Amsterdam gets a new destination where modern art, technology and nature come together in an inspiring and sustainable space. The museum promises to provide not only a visual experience, but also a platform for dialogue and reflection on our relationship with the world around us.
