Facilities Management Supervisor
Our museum
The Amsterdam Museum (AM) is Amsterdam’s premier city museum, telling the story of the city’s past, present, and future. We foster insight, wonder, and connection among visitors and residents. For the coming years, the Amsterdam Museum has an ambitious agenda featuring major projects such as multiple exhibitions at our temporary home in the Hermitage Amsterdam and at Huis Willet-Holthuysen, as well as innovative museum projects at various locations throughout the city. For our main location, the former Burgerweeshuis complex on Kalverstraat, the AM is preparing for a large-scale and extensive renovation. In addition, the AM manages the museum canal house on Herengracht, Huis Willet-Holthuysen, and in Amsterdam-Noord, the Collection Center (depot) and an office and storage building on Disketteweg.
