About

The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam is a leading institution for modern and contemporary art and design. Established in 1874, it houses an extensive collection of over 90,000 works, featuring artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, and Andy Warhol. The museum’s original 19th-century building, designed by Adriaan Willem Weissman, was expanded with a striking modern wing by Benthem Crouwel Architects, known as "The Bathtub" for its distinctive shape. Located in Museumplein, alongside the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk offers a dynamic program of exhibitions, research, and educational initiatives. Its collection spans movements from De Stijl and Bauhaus to contemporary digital art, reflecting the evolution of artistic expression. With a commitment to accessibility and innovation, the museum continues to engage global audiences, making it a vital cultural hub in Amsterdam.
