Christian Luiten 

 in 2015. Since, it's grown from an Instagram account to a global community, acting as a platform to help empower artists and new collectors. Made up of curators, developers and artists, it now counts influential figures such as Hans Ulrich Obrist as a follower.

Luiten is certainly an expert on art spaces within the Dutch capital. So if you're in Amsterdam, be sure to check out Luiten's guide to the best museums and art galleries. The co-founder highlights his favourite spaces, and explains why each pick is worth the trip.

The best museum for contemporary art. Probably one of the best in Europe, so if you're in Amsterdam you should go check it out.

A gallery from South Africa. They have a small space in the Netherlands and they represent cool artists such as Simphiwe Ndzube, Neo Matloga and Viviane Sassen. It's a small gallery so it's hard to find, but it's really great and in the middle of Amsterdam's centre.

The best gallery in Amsterdam in terms of how it started, but they are also playing on the international field. They’re in NYC and London and they show really great contemporary art.

You can see some of the best work in Amsterdam here.

A photography museum. It's also a beautiful building so if you don’t like the photos you can appreciate the space. It's on the canals, one of the townhouses in Amsterdam. The art is really beautiful.


Not everyone can go here all the time, but they sometimes have open days and open studios where you can see cool stuff and spot a lot of new talent.
