The building was thoroughly renovated in 2021 and is home to the Vrije Academie, the largest national educational institution for art &amp; culture, Art Zoo Museum, and Bar Vasari.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The venue plays host to our own programme, but that\u2019s not the only trick up this beautiful building\u2019s sleeve. All rooms are for rent, allowing everyone to discover this gem on the Herengracht for themselves! How about a meeting in the authentic 17th-century kitchen or a celebratory dinner under Jacob de Wit\u2019s original ceiling paintings? We have the perfect space for every party, for every need and for every wish.<b> <\/b>mogelijk. Alle zalen zijn te huur, zo kan iedereen deze parel aan de Herengracht<b> <\/b>zelf ontdekken! Van vergaderen met uitzicht op de gracht, tot een feestelijke borrel in Bar Vasari.\u00a0Wij hebben voor elk gezelschap, en voor elke wens de perfecte ruimte.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Special history<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Huis Vasari is a listed building with a rich history. It was originally built in the 17th century to the design of Amsterdam architect Philips Vingboons, commissioned by Jacob Cromhout. The two joined properties were therefore known as the Cromhouthuizen. Jacob\u2019s grandson commissioned then unknown painter Jacob de Wit (1695-1754) to decorate the residence. His ceiling paintings can still be seen in their original state, just like other original features such as the staircase \u2013 perhaps the finest staircase in Amsterdam \u2013 and the two 17th-century kitchens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Multifunctional canal house<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Art Zoo Museum features various halls, a workshop studio, and several small breakout rooms, suitable for groups of 4 to 120 people. Additionally, there is an exhibition space, a (museum) shop, and a caf\u00e9-restaurant: Bar Vasari, where you can take a seat on the terrace in the hidden courtyard during the summer. The large halls all feature a standard (theater) layout and audiovisual equipment. All halls can be reconfigured as desired. The entire building has a maximum capacity of 500 people.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":17196,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"occasion":[232,234,233,235,237,243,238],"guests":[245,246,247],"specificaties":[268,259,262,275,272,261,263,265,276,273,274,270,269],"class_list":["post-17159","venue","type-venue","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","occasion-congress","occasion-dinner","occasion-meeting","occasion-reception","occasion-presentation","occasion-wedding","occasion-workshop","guests-1-50","guests-50-100","guests-100-150","specificaties-airconditioning","specificaties-audio-visual","specificaties-protected-wifi","specificaties-outside-space","specificaties-bus-stop-on-walking-distance","specificaties-furniture","specificaties-free-wifi","specificaties-lan-10mbit","specificaties-smoking-area","specificaties-tram-stop-on-walking-distance","specificaties-train-station-on-walking-distance","specificaties-ventilation","specificaties-heating"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Art Zoo Museum - Unique Venues of Amsterdam<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uniquevenuesofamsterdam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venue\/17159\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Art Zoo Museum - Unique Venues of Amsterdam\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Welkom bij Art Zoo Museum, een prachtige evenementenlocatie in hartje Amsterdam!
