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

Come by for a drink and a bite, wine and dine at one of our restaurants Zanini, Bois or get a sandwich at Bakery Solinger,. 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.

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

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