Building

Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ has one big concert space, but also a smaller one that is also used for conferences, talk and exhibitions.

Concerts also take place at various other locations in the building, such as the atrium and on the 3 large balconies above the restaurant.

Together with the Bimhuis it forms an architectural ensemble. The Bimhuis is a sort of black box that slides out of the larger Muziekgebouw.
