De School

De School is a former school building in Amsterdam housing multiple music venues, exhibition spaces, and a restaurant serving vegetarian options. The structure retains the layout of an educational facility while serving as a multifunctional cultural space.

The venue opened in 2016 when the team behind club Trouw converted a former school building into an entertainment space. This transformation marked the beginning of a new chapter for cultural activity in the area.

The venue combines electronic music with art exhibitions and film screenings across its spaces, reflecting how the local art scene shapes gatherings here. Visitors encounter a blend of performance and visual culture woven into the daily rhythm of the space.

The main venue holds around 700 people and enforces an age limit of 21 for evening events. Visitors should check the current program and opening hours in advance, as the schedule varies day to day.

A converted classroom called Het Muzieklocaal functions as an intimate performance space where audiences sit close to performers. This repurposed room preserves something of the building's original educational identity.
