Discover one of the world’s most important art collections
The Stedelijk Museum, or Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, is one of the must-see attractions during your trip to Amsterdam. The Stedelijk Museum is housed in a distinct two-part building.
The original building was designed by Dutch architect Adriaan Willem Weissman and completed in 1895. In 2012, a new wing was added, nicknamed "the bathtub". The name comes from its polished white look and shape. This wing was added to accommodate the ever-growing number of visitors.
The impressive permanent collection includes works by Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and many others. Some of the most famous pieces on display include Van Gogh's Les bêcheurs (1889), Appel's Vragende Kinderen (1949) and Chagall's L'autoportrait aux sept doigts (1912). The Stedelijk Museum also has temporary exhibitions and installations by prominent contemporary artists and designers.

Stellar collection of modern art
Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art was included in my I Amsterdam card and one of the highlights of my trip. Absolutely wonderful collection! Chagall’s “Maternity” and “Bella in Green” stole my heart, as expected. There are several interesting portraits by Russian avant-Garde painters of the early 20th century: Kokoshka, Matyushin, etc. All of these paintings are in the first room. After that, the collection takes more “modern” turn. For the fans of Yayoi Kusama's installations, there is her famous erotic “Boat” in different shades of blue. I didn’t spend much time on the ultra-contemporary art and on Mondrian as well. Two hours of joy for an art lover like me… and no crowds at all.

Nice!!!
Every now and then i drop by this museum. I loved the Chagalls hanging here. It is almost never as crowded as the two nearby world-famous museums so i quite enjoy the space and especially the quietness here. The museum shop is quite lovely too✌✌✌

Good alternative
If you can’t get in to the Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh Museum because you didn’t get tickets in advance, this is a very good alternative. Wonderful range of modern art, presented in periods such as 1950s to 1980s and post-1980s. And no need to book!

Engaging as always
The current main exhibition brings together works of a number of modern artists. among them Vincent van Gogh, Fernand Leger, Suzanne Valadon and Gerrit Rietveld as well as less well-known artists. A very worthwhile exhibition.

🫶 !!!!
A beautiful museum of modern art . I really loved spending half my day there enjoying and admiring the art . I really liked that there were statues and inventions alongside the paintings that gave the air trully a modern vibe. I also have to say that the architecture of the building was beautiful and it goes without saying that it feels great just being inside there and having the chance to see such great artists and creators.

Stedelijk museum Amsterdam
Stedelijk museum Amsterdam is een prettig museum om te bezoeken en niet te druk en prettige sfeer Ik vond de tentoonstelling interessant en afwisselend

Nan Goldin erg goed…
Bezoek aan Stedelijk vanwege foto-expositie Nan Goldin. Indrukwekkende reportages over zaken die het leven bezighouden. Resterende expositie erg experimenteel en weinig pakkend. Jammer.

…dato che siete qui
È vicino al Van Gogh museum ed al Rijskmuseum, ma non snobbatelo. Merita una visita, dato che siete qui. Grande, anche troppo. Molte sale passatele “volando”. Altre molto interessanti, alcune con qualche “pezzo” (quadri) da scoprire “nascosto” in mezzo a tanti altri. Costoso, come del resto tutto qui ad Amsterdam.

Arte Contemporáneo de calidad
Museo de arte contemporáneo, dentro del circuito y la zona de museos tan impresionantes con la que cuenta Ámsterdam, Obras de artistas reconocidos, principalmente a partir del impresionismo, y recorrido muy interesante pero quizá sea el hermano pequeño de los grandes museos de la ciudad.
