ABOUT US OUR MISSION Launched in 2016, The Dutch Digital Art Museum Almere (DDAMA), was created with the following considerations: Almere, a new town, founded in 1976, today has more than 213,000 inhabitants. It is a new town, beautifully situated on three lakes: Gooimeer, IJmeer and Markermeer. The city was built beside these dikes, 2 – 5 meter below sea level. Almere with its beautiful houses, gardens, cycle paths, and a short travel distance to Amsterdam, continues to develop rapidly. Construction, infrastructure and employment opportunities have had now enough attention. It is the right time for a museum of contemporary art. How can Almere, home to a relatively young population, express itself better with a museum devoted to digital art? An artistic digital highway, with artistic initiatives, developments and research, an artistic digital valley is needed to pioneer in this field.
