Nationale Stichting De Nieuwe Kerk

De Nieuwe Kerk, majestically situated on Amsterdam's iconic Dam Square next to the Royal Palace, offers a unique cultural experience as a premier exhibition space. While its name translates to 'New Church,' this historic venue now hosts world-class photojournalism, art, and cultural displays. Plan your visit around significant 2026 exhibitions, including the globally renowned World Press Photo Exhibition from April 24 to September 27, and the insightful "Queer Amsterdam" exhibit, exploring the city's LGBTQIA+ history from July 9, 2026, to April 4, 2027. The venue also plays a role in important city events, such as the 25th anniversary commemoration of same-sex marriages held on April 1, 2026, which also marked the countdown to WorldPride in Amsterdam.
