The Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ is a concert hall on the IJ in Amsterdam, above the IJtunnel and about a ten-minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal. The Danish firm 3XN designed it, and it opened in 2005. The article gives no construction dates, style, materials, dimensions, owner or street address.
It is the main concert hall for contemporary classical music and partly integrates the Bimhuis, which focuses on contemporary jazz. A main hall and a smaller hall make up the venue. A 31-tone Fokker organ, designed by Adriaan Fokker, stands in the smaller hall. Concerts also take place in the atrium and on three large balconies above the restaurant.
It hosts the World Minimal Music Festival, the Holland Festival and conferences, and runs the SoundLAB, a collection of about 100 experimental instruments. It replaced Muziekcentrum de IJsbreker. The article gives no hours.
