Het HEM

HIM is a house for contemporary culture on the Hembrug site in Zaandam. The former bullet factory is a fine place where people come together. Uniquely positioned at the intersection of metropolis and village community, nature and industry, past and future, it is the perfect location for anyone in need of inspiration, deepening and meeting.

The huge industrial halls with expansive perspectives, the colonnades and the various compartments give the building an emphatic individual character. And yet there are surprisingly many possibilities and uses - especially for business rentals.

Throughout the year, Het HEM offers several spaces for presentations, meetings and networking events; from a brainstorming session between the moving sheets of the RAAAF artwork, a business lunch for partners in our Living Room or a large-scale presentation, with professional audiovisual support, in the Grey Space.

There is suitable advice and catering for every occasion. Still need some fresh air? The surrounding area offers plenty of beauty, including a wide view of the North Sea Canal.

During the transition period to a more sustainable building, a number of in-house programmes land in different areas of the building. In the meantime, all spaces remain available to host a presentation, conference, party or photo shoot. Business events contribute to the realisation of our cultural programming.
