Nxt Museum is an innovative, ground-breaking institution that proudly holds the distinction of being the premier museum in the Netherlands to exclusively showcase new media art. Our museum places a keen and meticulous focus on art that utilises and harnesses the power and potential of modern tools, devices and technology in order to capture and embody present-day realities and themes. Our ethos is grounded in the profound belief that the artistic tools deployed in the pursuit and expression of creativity are highly indicative of the zeitgeist and spirit of the age we inhabit and are living through. We remain passionately committed to providing visitors with the opportunity to gain deep insights and understanding into the complexities of contemporary life, whilst simultaneously recognising, relating to and reflecting on the multiple realities that simultaneously coexist within our dynamic, ever-changing world.
Nxt Museum is the first museum in the Netherlands dedicated to new media art. Nxt Museum is focused on art that uses modern tools to embody modern times. We believe that the tools used in artistic expression reflect the times we live in. That makes them the perfect means to understand contemporary complexities allowing us to recognise, relate and reflect on our realities.
Based in North Amsterdam, the space is built specifically to explore new media art; art that expands technical possibilities and applications, is dynamic and unbound by form and that generates movement whether physical, mental or emotional. The space provides all the ingredients for these progressive art forms to grow, flourish and evolve. Nxt Museum is a place where creatives bring their visions to life.
