The capital city of Amsterdam is filled to the brim with one extraordinary museum after another. It is an absolute haven for art lovers. From a distance itself, you should be able to see the white and glass building on the Museum Square. There is a stark difference between the other museums on the square and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
Also known as the Stedelijk, it is home to design and architecture, and contemporary art of the 20th and 21 centuries. The museum houses the works of masters like Vincent van Gogh, Marlene Dumas, Lucio Fontana, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Andy Warhol among others. In 1895, the Stedelijk opened its door to the public and has gone to become the largest Dutch museum of its kind. A very popular tourist destination, the museum boasts of a whopping collection of 90,000 works and items, the oldest of them dating back to 1870. The collection comprises film and video, sculptures, paintings, artists’ books, graphic design, etc. It beautifully captures the essence of abstract expressionism, the Amsterdam School, Bauhaus, pop art, and minimal art among others. Ensure that you have an entire day to be able to absorb the history and beauty of this magnificent museum and its works on display.
