Betondorp in Watergraafsmeer has had its own museum since May, though it has no building yet.
As part of the Month of History, its exhibition Tuindorp Watergraafsmeer can be seen at the Kunstlokaal for the last time on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October.
Built in the 1920s as a housing experiment, Betondorp owes its popular name to its use of concrete, which was unusual at the time; officially it is called Tuindorp Watergraafsmeer.
Photos, maps and the Brink
Historic photos, drawings, maps and aerial photographs show how the neighbourhood was designed and how its distinctive street pattern came about.
A diagram shows how rainwater soaks into the ground beneath the Brink, the central square, and residents’ recent green initiatives are also covered.
Films and a lecture
Visitors can also watch historic films, including a 1984 documentary about Betondorp by filmmaker Henk Raaf, and hear a lecture on the neighbourhood’s history by historian Rogier Schravendeel.
The organisers want the museum to become a place where residents’ stories, family photos and memories come together.
The Kunstlokaal, at Onderlangs 36N, is open from 12.00 to 17.00 on both days.
