Effectenbeurszaal (0.4 on floorplan)

In 1903, the Stock Market took the Effectenbeurszaal (Stock market hall) in use. From that moment on, stocks and bonds were traded here daily. Until 1912, when the Exchange received its own building next to the Beurs van Berlage at Beursplein 5. After the departure of the Stock Exchange, the Effectenbeurszaal served as currency exchange and transfer office in Amsterdam. In 1985 the Dutch Philharmonic Orchestra (NedPhO) started using both the Graanbeurszaal and the Effectenbeurszaal. The Effectenbeurszaal was converted into a concert hall and acoustically improved to an excellent concert experience. In 2012 NedPhO moved to Majella Church in Amsterdam East. The stage was removed, but the hall retained its improved acoustics.
