About us

We are a neighbourhood network.

Our network connects 70 entrepreneurs, cultural and knowledge institutions, community organisations, and the municipality. Through this collaboration we help make the neighbourhood vibrant, green, and welcoming — not only for the people who live or work here, but also for Amsterdammers and visitors from outside the city.

Our role is twofold:

For residents and visitors – we bring together all information from the Plantage neighbourhood. Through our newsletter, social media and website, you’ll find culture, nature, job opportunities, activities and news — all clearly organised in one place.

For our members – as an entrepreneur or cultural institution, you become part of a strong neighbourhood network. You benefit from joint promotion, sustainability programmes, knowledge sharing, networking events, and the Plantage Pass, which offers advantages for you, your staff and the neighbourhood. Together, we increase both our visibility and our impact.

We stand for culture, nature and sustainability. Our members — from iconic institutions like ARTIS and the Hortus to local cafés and community organisations — collectively strengthen the identity of the Plantage neighbourhood.

Stichting de Plantage

The initiative to create a neighbourhood network came from several cultural institutions in the Plantage area. They shared the ambition to join forces and create a lively, green and liveable neighbourhood.

Since then, we have grown into a vibrant network of more than seventy organisations — from museums and theatres to hospitality, education and social initiatives — all shaping the identity of De Plantage: an oasis in the city, built on collaboration and connection. 💙

Our largest members include: ARTIS Zoo, GASSAN Diamonds, Groote Museum, H’ART Museum, Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam, Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), Royal Theatre Carré, Micropia, Museum Het Rembrandthuis, Museum van de Geest, Dutch National Opera & Ballet, The National Maritime Museum, Verzetsmuseum Amsterdam, Wereldmuseum Amsterdam and the Jewish Cultural Quarter: Jewish Historical Museum, Portuguese Synagogue and the National Holocaust Museum.

The Plantage team consists of:
Ellis Buis – Sustainability
