ABOUT PICNIC ON THE HEMBRUG

I feel lucky and blessed to live and work in my studio on the Hembrug. Industrial, raw, lush green and just a few minutes from the water. The Hembrug terrain is one of the most important industrial heritage sites in the Netherlands, with monumental factory buildings, bunkers, shooting ranges and the Schokbos. It is precisely this mix of history, architecture and greenery that gives the place its raw, distinctive character. Things are changing, and right now is the perfect moment to share this place. Picnicking here means space, air, materials and history. No frills. No fuss. Just a beautiful, well-cared-for moment.

The Hembrug terrain is 12 kilometers away from Amsterdam by car and 9 kilometers by bike.

Respect for our neighbours

We value our neighbours and want everyone to feel comfortable. That is why we keep our neighbours’ terraces clear and leave the surroundings as we found them.

The weather can always surprise you. If it rains, you can picnic under the roof of the Museum of Humanity, a special experience in itself.
This also depends on the opening hours of the museum so please inform before your visit.
