Reinwardt Academie
De Reinwardt Academie is a Dutch institution for higher vocational education in the Netherlands, which offers bachelor's and master's degrees in Cultural heritage.
The school is named for botanist Caspar Georg Carl Reinwardt, and is part of the Amsterdam University of the Arts. It is the only AHK-program without entrance examination, with students coming from all over Western Europe.
The academy was started in 1976 in Leiden, in a former elementary school building on the Van den Brandelerkade. In the 1980s it moved to the Pesthuis in Leiden, a monumental building from 1661 which now belongs to Naturalis Biodiversity Center. When many Dutch higher professional education institutions merged in 1987, it became part of AHK and in 1992 moved to the Dapperstraat in Amsterdam; in 2015-2016 it moved to the Hortusplantsoen in Amsterdam.
