North/South Line showcase

Officially opened on March 8, 2018: The treasures of the North/South Line.

From lost wallets to Stone Age axes: at least 700,000 archaeological finds were made during the construction of the North/South metro line in Amsterdam. A selection of 10,000 objects is now on display between the escalators of the Amsterdam Rokin metro station. These include everyday objects like wallets and glasses, as well as spearheads from prehistoric times.

Passengers taking the metro at Rokin must wait two and a half minutes on the escalator before reaching the platform. During this time, they can view the archaeological finds in illuminated display cases. These cases were designed and built by Kloosterboer. The objects are organized into ten themes and tell something about the city's past.
