Gebouw Plancius, Registered national heritage building in Plantage district, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The neo-classical structure at Planciusstraat 8 features sober facades with risalites and accommodates a large hall with over 1000 seats.

Architects N. Vos and J. Gaman designed this building in 1876 for the Jewish choral society Oefening Baart Kunst with financial support from diamond workers.

The building transformed into the Resistance Museum in 1999, preserving and presenting stories from World War II resistance movements.

Located opposite to Artis Zoo, the building houses exhibition spaces and offers resources for individuals interested in monument preservation.

The structure served multiple purposes throughout time, from a Jewish choir practice space to a taxi company headquarters and a horse stable during wartime.
