The route was set up to draw greater attention to the urban expansion plan of architect H.P. Berlage, known as the Plan-Zuid, which is now over a hundred years old, by organising a high-quality sculpture exhibition.

The route consists of more than 50 large sculptures, that are placed along Apollolaan and other stately lanes in Amsterdam South.

The sculpture route is a free event. The route is five minutes walk from the Museumplein. A map is available from the information desk in front of the Hilton Hotel (at Apollolaan 138). A walk along all the works takes about two and a half hours.

Artzuid will last from May 27 to August 28 2011.
