The studios at KIT Live are home to Kids van Amsterdam, a dance and music school for children and young people from the local neighbourhood.
KIT Live is located in KIT’s monumental building and has its own entrance on Linnaeusstraat. Visitors to Wereldmuseum can also access KIT Café directly from inside the museum.
KIT Theater
The KIT Live Theatre is an intimate venue with fixed tiered seating for up to 180 guests. Its fan-shaped stage is ideal for debates, presentations, film screenings, workshops, and smaller dance and theatre performances. The theatre has its own entrance at Linnaeusstraat 2 and shares its foyer with KIT Café. Since December 2023, the theatre has been upgraded with a new, user-friendly lighting system and a modern digital audiovisual installation.
