Amsterdam, art, image and the night
A city and culture magazine about Amsterdam: museums and exhibitions, photography and film, design and media art, neighbourhood portraits, the annual calendar and nightlife.
Amsterdam Editions writes about the city as it presents itself to visitors and residents: in the museums on Museumplein and in the canal houses, in the cinemas on the IJ, in the workshops of media art and in the streets of the Jordaan, De Pijp and Noord. Articles are based on public sources and are updated when dates or rules change.
The magazine is published in Dutch and English. Every section has a Dutch counterpart.
