Museum Het Schip, Architecture museum in Spaarndammerbuurt, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The red brick building complex features curved walls, tower-like elements, decorative masonry, and ornamental details throughout its architectural design.
Built in 1919 by Michel de Klerk as part of social housing projects following the 1901 Housing Act to improve living conditions for workers.
The museum exhibits demonstrate how Amsterdam School architecture combined artistic design with social reform to create better housing for working-class residents.
Guided tours in multiple languages start every hour between 11:00 and 16:00, including access to original apartments and the restored 1920s post office.
The structure earned its name 'The Ship' from its distinct nautical appearance, with elements resembling a ship's bow, deck, and bridge.
