VU ART SCIENCE gallery

The VU ART SCIENCE gallery is open Tuesday to Friday, from 12 to 6 PM. The gallery host is happy to tell you more about the exhibition and the artworks.

Please note: from Monday 14 July till Friday 29 August 2025 the gallery is on summer break. We will re-open on Tuesday 2 September. We're looking forward to welcome you (back)!

The gallery focuses on the interaction between art and science. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam initiated the gallery, as it encourages the exchange of multidisciplinary knowledge. The urgency and complexity of today’s issues demand radical concepts which allow us to leave conventional paths behind and explore new directions.

Boelelaan 1111
Next to the VU ART SCIENCE gallery, opened in 2021, the NU Building on Boelelaan 1111 hosts VU Griffioen (theatre & courses), Rialto VU (cinema) and cultural café Bar Boele. At the heart of the inspiring university campus VU students and employees as well as visitors and Zuidas residents can meet and enjoy film, theatre, art and science.

Exhibition: Water Views

All over the world, life is being threatened by drought or an abundance of water. At the same time, there is little attention in current politics for climate issues. The new exhibition Water Views at the VU ART SCIENCE gallery calls attention to our relationship with water, by bringing together the perspectives of artists and academics. With artworks by Valerie van Leersum, Tanja Engelberts, Suzette Bousema, Huniti Goldox and Jana Romanova.

On view from 2 September till 24 October 2025
