Aleksandra DudekAugust 5, 2018Extremely immersive collection of modern art and design. Temporary exhibition of Studio Drift is something that everyone should see and experience - is a piece of innovations truly touching emotions.
Artyom FedosovJuly 29, 2016Okay, there are permanent part which consists of works by famous artists like Chagall, Picasso, Modrian and so on and temporary part which is so crazy that could be impressive only with mushrooms. >_<
The ArtificialNovember 27, 2017Also known by locals as the giant bath tub. It is dedicated to modern and contemporary art and design. Usually it is not as crowded as the Van Gogh museum or the Rijksmuseum so it's worth checking... Read more
Harald B.May 15, 2019A must see for modern Art lovers. Check out the book shop in the entrance hall, there are often some expensive illustrated books on sale.

Serhii LutskoJune 17, 2018Very nice art museum with the levitating cube :) I liked their bar exposition from the past where you can see how the bar in LA looked like. Pretty nice place to visit
Hana VApril 14, 2018Very interesting museum, defintely one you should check out. You can find all the big names here : Picasso, Mondriaan, Van Gogh, Appel, Kandinsky, Malevich, Rothko, Newman and so on.
PeterAugust 28, 2014Best Modern Art museum in The Netherlands. Great architecture and spacious. Save money! Buy a Museum Jaarkaart at the entrance instead of separate tickets for Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh and other museums.
Elan MillerOctober 21, 2015Must see in Amsterdam. One of my top 5 modern art museums in the world. Think MoMa meets Dia:Beacon with Dutch influence.
TinoApril 30, 2017Impressive selection of modern art. The photo & video exhibition of Ed van der Elsken was brilliant - showing a different face of Dutch art.
Thomas DefiseFebruary 16, 2020The art museum dedicated to contemporary art in Amsterdam. Exhibition of Carlos Amorales is fantastic. Count 2h30 for the temp exhibitions and the permanent
Modern art. Usually with great temporary expositions and the regular art collection is awesome too. Go to the halls where you find the Roy Lichtenstein item and Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue.
The architecture is amazing , the space is very inspiring and easy to navigate . Very nice exhibitions if you're into modern art .
Hop Hey LalaleyDecember 6, 2015Great permanent collection - Malevich, Mondriaan, Kandinsky, Chagall. On the second floor the exhibition is more crazy, but at least you can have fun)
Sofia CaseMarch 7, 2016Good collection of modern art with hilights such as Picasso, Mondrian, Kadinsky, Chagall and de Kooning 🎨 All the contemporary art is terribly cliché and unimpressive. Not worth a full price ticket.
Marguerite sheikhat.moscowDecember 17, 2019Unlike Van Gogh Museum it's easier to get in. You can pay in cash. Currently you can see Chagall, Mondrian, Picasso exhibition
PierrodbSeptember 30, 2013A very cool museum with spacieuse and bright room that allow you to appreciate the various creations, sculpture, painting and design from 19th to 20th century. Curious Will enjoy going to Stedelijk :)- Great museum of modern art. The exhibitions change every couple of months. Nice gift shop as well.
- One of the best contemporary art museums of the Netherlands. You'll find Barnett Newman, Yves Klein, Piet Mondriaan, Malevich and many others in its collection.
- Chris NatoliSeptember 23, 2014Definitely one of the best art museums in Ansterdam (better than Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum nearby). Great variety of interesting modern art. Good gift shop too.
Emily BasileAugust 28, 2016Interesting collection of modern art. Get the museumkaart for €60 if you plan on hitting all 3 €15 museums in this area and almost anything else in Amsterdam that requires a ticket!- Sidney SmeetsSeptember 12, 2014Wonderful modern art museum with changeling exhibitions. Not the MoMa, but especially nice if you are interested in Dutch art and design.
KellyAugust 17, 2014Strong collection-worth visiting again! Highlights:Mondrian, Karel Appel, design section. Don t miss the light installation in the entrance and the current Gujs n Emmy jewelry design exhibition;- Legendary modern art museum. Probably my favorite in Amsterdam.
Víťazoslav ZákopčanMarch 6, 2014Visited Marcel Wanders exhibition, which I reccomend to see if you´re into design or art generally. I liked especially black dark room with some monstrous pieces and meaningful quotes on the wall...
Polina FlegontovnaAugust 18, 2015I liked the expo about design and the fact that this museum doesn't have a 3 hour line like many others in Amsterdam. The negative side - it is very very expensive. A museum should be more accessible.
Matty StevensonFebruary 4, 2019Go early and take your time. So much to see here! Excellent (and free) audio tour experience.
Michael ReeveOctober 22, 2014Favourites: the Barnett Newman paintings, the Dan Flavin neon, the De Stijl works, and a lovely cafe on 1st floor. Great museum!
Fatma GencDecember 25, 2015My favourite in Amsterdam. This is how a kinda traditional and conservative invention can join along in the new Eras.
Rob GoossensMay 5, 2013Very good overview of modern art/design with some great pieces of Malevich, Mondriaan and Rietveld ... less impressive pieces regarding contemporary art, but in a whole a very strong exhibition ...
Welcome to the Stedelijk Museum: a medium size museum with an extra large collection. Here you will find masterpieces from every decade of the 20th & 21st century, no matter which way you walk. Enjoy!- Laura PApril 11, 2014Variety is huge - some very big names in modern art. De Kooning is my personal favourite and all the neon lights
Shaun WestonMarch 10, 2015Quick visit and this gallery seemed nice, with modern art as soon as you enter. They let me in with a bottle of water, but then chucked me out when I was in there. Humph!
Simon SaintMarch 20, 2015Great collection and the building is stunning. Check out the lovely cafe on the first floor!
The Beanery (1965) by Edward Kienholz is one of this museum's most loved pieces. It was recently restored. Want to learn more about the restoration? Video: http://arttube.nl/en/video/Stedelijk/Beanery
Enzo MartinelliFebruary 24, 2016Modern art museum with huge collection beyond exhibiting space, hence ever changing displays
KAugust 20, 2017Should have been good but many of the temporary exhibitions today let it down. More of the photographs from South Africa's LGBTI community and designs for refugees please and less of the pretentious!
Nastya ChekryzhovaJune 19, 2019One of the best contemporary art museum in the world. Incredible curatorial wok on the temporary exhibitions
Patri PRAugust 22, 2016Modern and contemporary art in a nicely curated museum. The architecture is almost as breathtaking as the pieces inside it.
Lennart van NieuwenhuijzenSeptember 5, 2015One of the best museums in the Netherlands. Very good collection, the building itself is a work of art.
DayeeOctober 14, 2018Loved the exhibits when I visited, mix of modern and classic design. Museum's flow from floor to floor is unique.
Dayna McAlpineMarch 1, 2015Loved it. The design exhibition was really interesting and well worth a visit.
Jose LopezFebruary 9, 2015It's a huge museum, and the biggest modern art museum of Amsterdam, also know as the "bathtub"
SALT OnlineDecember 10, 20142014 Prince Claus Laureate Gülsün Karamustafa in conversation with Vasıf Kortun for “Culture in Action: Prince Claus Awards Week” at the Stedelijk Museum, Dec 12, 16.30-17.45.
always has good exhibits and it's permanent collection is worth the visit too...
Sarah DMay 30, 2017Free audio tour in multiple languages! Reasonable admission (especially if you're a student) and so much great art to see!
Try the restaurant on Sunday mornings when its still quiet. This is actually one of the few places with a professional and friendly staff in Amsterdam!- Amanda SmithJuly 10, 2015Head downstairs to their restaurant for a bite. The shrimp croquettes were the best croquettes I had in all of Amsterdam!
Gino BuragevicSeptember 29, 2014As impressive on the outside as on the inside! The collections are vibrant and divers. A real must see.
Julius TarngAugust 18, 2015The time slot system is insane. 2 lines: people who have a e ticket/pass or people who need to buy a ticket. Both only get in at the top of the hour in batches. Waited an hour from 10:40-11:45
