De Appel arts centre is an inspirational international institution for contemporary art, fulfilling a key role in both Amsterdam and the Netherlands. This art institution is also an eye-catcher at an international level, serving as a standard for determining relevant trends in contemporary art in all its forms.
A platform for contemporary art
With its varied public programme – consisting of exhibitions, performances, lectures and debates – De Appel introduces a broad and curious audience to the latest developments in contemporary art.
Accessibility
As indicated, the Appel building does not have an elevator but a stair climber. This is a chair with a caterpillar track underneath that is placed parallel to the stairs. It pushes itself up by means of a battery. A staff member helps by holding the chair tilted properly and walking up the stairs with it.
