The Illustrated Urban Wilderness

Discover how nature and the city can grow and inspire together

Museum Het Schip, the museum dedicated to Amsterdam School art, architecture, and social housing, presents a unique project in collaboration with the Illustration Embassy: The Illustrated Urban Wilderness. In the studio at the Meterhuisje at Westergas, illustrators pay tribute to the biodiversity of Westerpark.

This pop-up exhibition, organized alongside the temporary exhibition The Worker’s Paradise: Garden Villages and Garden Cities, invites visitors to delve into the flora and fauna of the park in depth.

From botanical illustrations to eco-friendly prints, the project highlights the connection between city and nature and envisions a green paradise that benefits both residents and wildlife.
