Founded in 2008 by acclaimed architect Marco de Piaggi, Radar aims to provide a platform for unconventional and innovative artists to showcase their work. The gallery avoids patronizing any particular medium and welcomes everything from photography and sculpture to video art. Apart from this, the museum also hosts exhibitions on architecture. Challenging the traditional notions of art, the award-winning Radar is a unique gallery in the city's art scenario.
Museu Van Loon está localizado ao longo de um canal num edifício feito de duas estruturas que datam desde 1672. Em 1884, esta casa foi comprada pela família Van Loon. A família Van Loon morava neste lugar até 1945. Após uma completa renovação realizada em 1974, a casa se-tornou num museu. A colecção é constituída pelos retratos da familia no século 17 e 18 combinados com um grande número de peças assinadas, móveis, porcelana e medalhas de ouro, trazendo aos distintos ambientes a atmosfera da época.

The eye-catching building in Westerpark is perhaps pioneering architect Michel de Klerk's most famous specimen of the Amsterdam School of architecture. The building's curved, brick-exposed features make it one of the most unique in the city. Built in 1919, the sprawling building originally contained homes for the working class as well as a post office and a meeting hall. The facility now offers tours highlighting and explaining the stellar features and design philosophy of the building. Apart from this, visitors can also witness the old post office and various exhibits relating to the homes within the building. The original site of the post office is now a leading architecture school.
