Musis Arnhem is a prominent arts centre located in Arnhem, Netherlands. Originally opened in 1983, it serves as a significant venue for a wide variety of performances including classical music concerts, theatre productions, dance performances and pop/jazz events. The building itself is architecturally notable, designed by Herman Hertzberger as part of the Sonsbeekpark complex. It comprises several halls, with the main ‘Great Hall’ being particularly renowned for its acoustics. Musis underwent a substantial renovation and expansion completed in 2018 which modernized facilities while preserving its original architectural intent. The venue plays an important role in the cultural life of the Arnhem region and beyond.
