STEDELIJK MUSEUM, Stedelijk Museum

Hi, my name’s Jill, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the Wonders of the World: the Stedelijk Museum.

The Stedelijk Museum, or “civic museum”, contains one of the most important collections of European art from the 19th and 20th centuries.

A must for modern art lovers, the Stedelijk is housed in a particularly unusual building. The original structure, built at the end of the 19th century in Neo-Renaissance style, is joined by a huge modern complex beside it, designed by Benthem Crouwel Architects and opened to the public in 2012 after eight years of work. The stark contrast between the two structures will not leave you indifferent.

Thanks to this extension, a wide range of new services are available to the public: a restaurant on the terrace, a huge bookshop, areas for temporary exhibitions and a whole wing dedicated to developments in design....
