We limit the capacity to 250 pax so you have more than enough space to move around safely. We offer timeslots for large-scale programs through our website. We do this to monitor capacity and/or because it’s a ticketed program. For small-scale programs where we're sure there's enough space for everyone we will not make timeslots, you can just come and visit us. We ask you to keep an appropriate distance during your visit.

We have a friendly mediator at the entrance who will welcome you and register you.

This mediator is well informed about the program, all elements of the building and how to get back home by public transport (if necessary). This is the time to ask questions.

We provide disinfecting hand sanitizers at entrances, staircases and in our café. Feel free to use as much as you want.

In Amsterdam it is now customary to wear face masks in stores, but not yet in Zaandam. Because we think it's safer to wear face masks, we ask you to do so when you're walking around or queuing at our café. We noticed that people stand close to each other so better safe than sorry. This is for your own safety, that of our other visitors and our employees.

Our cafe is currently equipped for 30 people. Within this occasion you can eat and drink. In the rest of the living room there are 20 chairs near the library, the fireplace, the reading table and the Couch. If you have obtained one of these chairs you can order a drink at the bar and take it with you to your chair. Walking or standing and drinking at the same time is against the restrictions so don't do it.

We’ve implemented new cleaning and sanitation measures, including assigning team members to regularly clean high-use areas, such as tables, restrooms and banisters.

Leave your coat and other belongings in one of our lockers. This way you can move freely through the building without having to think where your stuff is. We have wheelchairs available if needed, please ask our mediator upon arrival.
