ARCAM, Architecture museum in Amsterdam-Centrum, Netherlands

The ARCAM building features an aluminum exterior with a trapezoidal form across three floors, designed by architect René van Zuuk in 2003.

Founded in 1986 as an information center, ARCAM emerged during a period when Dutch society sought to improve the quality of modern architecture.

The center presents five different exhibitions annually, focusing on new developments in architecture while maintaining a permanent display of Amsterdam's 1200-year architectural evolution.

Located near Amsterdam Central Station, ARCAM welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 13:00 and 17:00 with free admission and accessibility features.

The building underwent a six-year adaptation process from its original purpose as a temporary Nemo Museum structure to become the current architectural center.
