Collection Gallery
The Collection Gallery invites you to explore the richness and diversity of the Nieuwe Instituut’s architecture collection – and, quite literally, to zoom in on some of the stories it contains.
Digilab
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the Digilab is responsible for the digitisation of the architecture collection. Digitisation plays a crucial role in the accessibility, maintenance and preservation of the collection.
Heritage Futures
Heritage Futures is a practice-oriented programme consisting of workshops, training sessions and knowledge exchange. It is designed to support more equitable and community-centred approaches to archiving.
