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 Henri Matisse, 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.
