The World’s First EDM Museum

As a new-ish Amsterdam resident, I’ve been working to cross off items on that ever-growing bucket list of things to do in Amsterdam. I recently enjoyed exploring Our House, the world’s first museum dedicated to the electronic music genre. Located in the center of Amsterdam, this modern museum boasts an immersive dance floor music experience that takes visitors on a trip through electronic dance music’s past, present, and future.

Walking through the museum, I was amazed by the high-tech audio-visual exhibitions and interactive installations showcasing the evolution of electronic dance music (EDM). The 75-minute digital storytelling journey provided me with an array of stimulating exhibits, shows, video images, and performances that truly capture the essence of this popular and influential music genre.

During my visit to Our House Amsterdam, I learned about the rich history of EDM. I saw what the future holds for this continually evolving musical style. The guided tour, DJ-curated exhibits, and exclusive events hosted at the museum made my visit a truly enjoyable experience, solidifying Amsterdam’s well-deserved reputation as a hub for electronic music culture.

Editor’s Note: If you have epilepsy or other conditions that might be affected by loud music and flashing lights, be cautious while visiting Our House, as this immersive museum contains laser shows and video projections. Pregnant women are also advised to take precautions, positioning themselves towards the back of exhibits and away from speakers.
