Rokin metro station is an Amsterdam Metro station on Line 52, the fifth and newest metro line in Amsterdam which connects the Amsterdam-Noord (north) borough to the Amsterdam-Zuid (south) via Amsterdam Centraal. It began service in July 2018 and is under the Rokin canal in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The station is also used for an exhibition of the archaeological objects found in the soil of Amsterdam during the construction of the metro line. Four artists were selected to create a design for this exhibition, in combination with a work of art on the platform level. In December 2013, a special committee of the municipality selected a work of art by the British-French artist duo Daniel Dewar and Grégory Gicquel for this station.
