Art is our first language. Throughout the year, Het HEM presents a range of temporary art programmes as well as more permanent art installations.

There is always music to listen to at Het HEM, with programmes focused on experimental ways to create, present and experience music in the building through listening sessions, live shows, and musical artis-in-residence initiatives.

We are closed at the moment. When we are open again you are welcome for a drink and a bite, wine and dine at our restaurant. With good wether we suggest you settle down on our sunny terrace on the Costa del Zaano.

Het HEM loves books. During your visit, come lose yourself in the library's rich selection or discover new favourites in the SANZ Shop.

The building's industrial design and our experimental art programme bring ambience and meaning to every event.

Situated in a former munitions factory, Het HEM is a new home for contemporary culture.
