Lonely Planet review for Het Schip

This remarkable housing project (1920) is a flagship of the Amsterdam School of architecture. The triangular block, loosely resembling a ship, was designed by Michel de Klerk for railway employees. Het Schip now hosts a small museum in three parts: you can poke around the delightful old post office, walk through a worker’s apartment (complete with period furniture) and enjoy a snack in the lunchroom. Architecture buffs will want to make the pilgrimage.
