About Het Schip

Het Schip is a museum. Location: Gemeente Amsterdam, North Holland.

From Wikipedia

Het Schip (English: The Ship) is a building complex in the Spaarndammerbuurt neighbourhood of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The complex in the architectural style of the Amsterdam School was designed by Michel de Klerk in 1919. It originally contained 102 homes (now 82) for the working class, a small meeting hall, a post office, and an elementary school. Since 2001, the former school and post office are used as a museum about the Amsterdam School.
