ARTZUID is the leading Sculpture Biennale of the Netherlands. Every two years, 50 high-profile sculptures are exhibited for four months on the green lanes of Amsterdam Zuid. Their mission is to create a new meeting place on the street with a museum-quality selection of sculptures and to make art accessible to everyone free of charge. In 2025 ARTZUID returns with "Reflections on Amsterdam".

Sculptures in Amsterdam South

ARTZUID places modern and contemporary figurative art side by side in 'the Garden of Amsterdam South', interspersed with spatial installations that give the sculpture route more than ever the character of an experiential exhibition. The previous edition was particularly aimed at young people. The new theme has not been announced yet.

For more information, visit the ARTZUID website or stop by the information pavilion at Minervalaan 1 (open daily from 10:00 to 18:00) where the route map and catalog are available.

Guided Tours

During ARTZUID 2025, the ARTZUID boarding tours take place every Saturday and Sunday at 1pm. You can also book a private tour on a day and time of your choice for your own company. We offer several other tours throughout the year. See all tour options under ARTZUID tours.

The 2 km-long route of the Amsterdam Sculpture Biennial runs along the Apollolaan and Minervalaan.

During the last edition, ten artists were commissioned to create new works, including the well-known Amsterdam street artist Frankey, and the remaining sculptures are on loan. The selection of 50 artworks, curated by Jasper Krabbé, represents a mix of internationally renowned artists and young talent, with a focus on engaging the youth.

Appealing to youth

Artist and curator of ARTZUID 2023, Jasper Krabbé, who started in the 1980s on the streets as a graffiti writer JAZ, aims to engage young people with a colourful exhibition. In selecting the sculptures, he chose art that resonates with their lived experience.
