What's unique about Stedelijk Museum?

The Stedelijk Museum is a must-visit for modern and contemporary art lovers. While other museums in Amsterdam focus on classical or single-artist collections, the Stedelijk showcases 20th and 21st-century art and design, featuring movements like Bauhaus, De Stijl, Pop Art, Minimalism, and Conceptual Art, from Dutch and international artists.

  • Innovation and contemporary culture: The Stedelijk focuses on art that is innovative and reflective of contemporary issues by Mondrian, Rothko, Warhol, and Koons.
  • Architectural icon: The museum’s architecture—especially the modern wing known as “the bathtub”—is a draw in itself. This addition gives Stedelijk a unique physical identity, making the space as much an exhibit as the art inside.
  • Emerging artists and rotating exhibitions: Stedelijk continuously updates its exhibits, introducing work by established and emerging artists. The museum hosts exhibitions, installations, and artist talks, creating an environment that resonates with younger audiences and encourages repeat visits.
  • Experiential atmosphere: The Stedelijk integrates interactive and multimedia installations, creating an immersive experience unlike the quieter settings of other Amsterdam museums.
