Amsterdam is opening a new electronic music museum called Our House. It’s slated to open its doors on Friday, October 29. Billed as “the world’s first modern museum” dedicated to electronic music, Our House will span six exhibitions and 15 installations, including photo galleries, interactive vinyl players, documentaries, flyers, drum machines and a closing 4D audiovisual experience called “The Culture Ride.”
Artifacts have been contributed by the likes of The Frankie Knuckles Foundation among others. “Together with more than 150 international artists, promoters, creatives, producers, curators, operators and DJs, we have worked for the last two years on the realization of the collection,” says cofounder Jeroen Jansen. Located on Amstelstraat, Our House sits on the former site of iT, one of Amsterdam’s first house music clubs. Find out more about the museum here.
