Cultural Center Felix Meritis on the Keizersgracht is the beating heart of the festival of 24 hours Centrum. Here you can go between 12:00 and 17:00 for all the information you need to explore the neighborhood.

Come and watch a preview on 22 March. Come hear the interpretation of the four statues Wisdom, Justice, Moderation and Vigilance. Some Amsterdammers and ambassadors of teh Beeldenstorm will look through the eyes of these statues and tell what wisdom, justice , moderation and vigilance mean. In this way, the four statues come to life and tell what they think of the city of Amsterdam. How they see the future of the city. Among others, poet Marlou Avontuur presents her contribution. https://www.iamsterdam.com/en/whats-on/calendar/attractions-and-sights/tours/preview-of-the-beeldenstorm-amsterdam-12

In a few years, the Amsterdam Museum will return to the Burgerweeshuis, which is currently being renovated.

During 24 Hours Centrum, you can already get a sneak preview, with three mini-lectures, a panel discussion, and a workshop at Felix Meritis. https://www.iamsterdam.com/en/whats-on/calendar/theatre-and-stage/stage/mini-lectures-and-panel-discussion-in-a-creative-neighbourhood
