Extremely 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 Fedosov

Okay, 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 Artificial

Also 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

A 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 Lutsko

Very 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 V

Very 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.

Best 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 Miller

Must see in Amsterdam. One of my top 5 modern art museums in the world. Think MoMa meets Dia:Beacon with Dutch influence.

Thomas Defise

The art museum dedicated to contemporary art in Amsterdam. Exhibition of Carlos Amorales is fantastic. Count 2h30 for the temp exhibitions and the permanent

Tino

Impressive selection of modern art . The photo & video exhibition of Ed van der Elsken was brilliant - showing a different face of Dutch art .

Jean-Paul Schaddé van Dooren

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.

Hop Hey Lalaley

Great permanent collection - Malevich , Mondriaan , Kandinsky, Chagall. On the second floor the exhibition is more crazy, but at least you can have fun)

Tonia Imperfect

The architecture is amazing , the space is very inspiring and easy to navigate . Very nice exhibitions if you're into modern art .

Marguerite sheikhat.moscow

Unlike Van Gogh Museum it's easier to get in. You can pay in cash. Currently you can see Chagall, Mondrian, Picasso exhibition

Sofia Case

Good 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.

Pierrodb

A 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 :)

Stefanie Ladangh

Great museum of modern art . The exhibitions change every couple of months. Nice gift shop as well .

Chris Natoli

Definitely 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 Basile

Interesting 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 Smeets

Wonderful modern art museum with changeling exhibitions . Not the MoMa, but especially nice if you are interested in Dutch art and design.

Yasmin V

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.

Kelly

Strong 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 ;

Matty Stevenson

Go early and take your time. So much to see here! Excellent (and free) audio tour experience.

Juan Buis

Legendary modern art museum . Probably my favorite in Amsterdam.

Polina Flegontovna

I 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.

Víťazoslav Zákopčan

Visited 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...

Fatma Genc

My favourite in Amsterdam. This is how a kinda traditional and conservative invention can join along in the new Eras.

Rob Goossens

Very 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 ...

Michael Reeve

Favourites: the Barnett Newman paintings , the Dan Flavin neon, the De Stijl works, and a lovely cafe on 1st floor. Great museum !

Juha van 't Zelfde

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!

Shaun Weston

Quick 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!

Laura P

Variety is huge - some very big names in modern art . De Kooning is my personal favourite and all the neon lights

Simon Saint

Great collection and the building is stunning. Check out the lovely cafe on the first floor!

Enzo Martinelli

Modern art museum with huge collection beyond exhibiting space, hence ever changing displays

K

Should 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 !

Sandra

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

Nastya Chekryzhova

One of the best contemporary art museum in the world. Incredible curatorial wok on the temporary exhibitions

Vera

Must visit museum when in Amsterdam.

Dayee

Loved the exhibits when I visited, mix of modern and classic design. Museum 's flow from floor to floor is unique.

Lennart van Nieuwenhuijzen

One of the best museums in the Netherlands. Very good collection, the building itself is a work of art .

Dayna McAlpine

Loved it. The design exhibition was really interesting and well worth a visit.

B. Aaron Talbot

always has good exhibits and it's permanent collection is worth the visit too...

Sarah D

Free audio tour in multiple languages! Reasonable admission (especially if you're a student) and so much great art to see!

Patri PR

Modern and contemporary art in a nicely curated museum . The architecture is almost as breathtaking as the pieces inside it.

Gerdie Schreuders

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!

Jose Lopez

It's a huge museum , and the biggest modern art museum of Amsterdam, also know as the "bathtub"

Amanda Smith

Head downstairs to their restaurant for a bite. The shrimp croquettes were the best croquettes I had in all of Amsterdam!

Julius Tarng

The 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

Gino Buragevic

As impressive on the outside as on the inside! The collections are vibrant and divers. A real must see.
