The ArtZuid sculpture exhibition is taking place in Amsterdam (17 May to 15 Sept 2019). This is the sixth edition of the exhibition which is held every other year. Here you find over 80 large scale exhibitions installed in the area between Minervalaan and Zuid Amsterdam. The exhibition area is open 24 hours a day.
Visit the ArtZuid website for a map with location of the various sculptures. You can also download a mobile app. which is helpful. There is an exhibition information centre and pavilion setup at Minervalaan that is open from 10am to 6pm.
