Stedelijk

There are some great works here like Chagall, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse at the Stedelijk Museum. The Pop Art, Warhol (photo exhibit) and ZERO exhibitions are fun. I don’t know a thing about art, but there was an audio book for 5 euros that helped. The atmosphere is less push and shove than other museums because it’s’ less busy. Tip: be sure to see Bill Copleys’ «I Am Curious». lol whose bum is that?

I am a person who is quite intrigued by art and culture. Consequently, I am a fan. Though not sure on the assessment criteria, I think that the Stedelijk museum is a good one.
One thing that I absolutely love about the Stedelijk, is that it stays open until on Thursdays. I think more musea need to implement the Thursday evening (or generally an evening) opening times. I find it a pity that as a working person, you can only visit a museum in the weekends. Let’s be honest, if you work all week, you definitely do not want to wake up at 8am on a Saturday to make it to the entrance before the massive queues start appearing around 10am.
Thus — massive plus point.
I think the permanent collection is quite good. I like the original furniture pieces that have been re-​made and can be seen in the countless hipsterseized places around out beautiful city.
My personal favorite, however, is the massive blue painting by Barnett Newman. But that is probably also because I love blue. So I am hypnotized by this one: D

Sept 2015 — no masters on display other than 1 series of 3 by Lichtenstein. I love modern art, but the works on display at this time we’re very unimpressive. Seriously– a plain white canvas (untitled) and a plain grey canvas side-​by-​side were the highlight. If you find that moving, this is your place. If you prefer something more dynamic, save your 15 euros.

Une très bonne scénographie qui nous fait voyager des années 50 à 90.
Les salles sont spacieuses, bien agencées et lumineuses, le matériel d’exposition translucide permet de jolies photos et de créer de l’intimité.
Un peu déçu par le prix, 15 €, et le contenu qui représente une petite moitié de la permanente de Beaubourg.
La «baignoire» né vaut pas le plongeon, ou alors par temps de pluie peut-​être.

Lots of interesting and beautiful exhibits and pieces. Admission included with city pass. Fun activities downstairs for the family!

This is not the place for you if you’re not into modern art. I came when there was the Matisse exhibit and even though contemporary art isn’t my thing, I enjoyed it. Come here with an open mind, and you’ll definitely enjoy it. I wasn’t very interested in the artwork until the the modern paintings and sculptures section, which this museum had plenty of. I don’t think I would ever come back again, but I’m glad I got to see this museum at least once.

There is much to see in the Stedelijk. Though the collection could be stronger, there are many fine pieces here. The museum seems largely dedicated to traveling exhibitions. While I was there it was the Matisse cutouts that had recently toured MOMA in NY.
Museum entrance is steep at 15 euros.

Modern art and I have a love-​hate relationship. Sometimes I date it for a short amount of time or it beats all my sexual attraction for art out of me. To wit, although I will put out for Van Gogh, I will keep my legs glued for Pollock. I feel conflicted on the subject all the time, so I pushed myself to visit this modern art museum based on a small glimmer of hope in a setting in which I am predisposed to apathy.
This museum is one of the «Big Three» in the Museum Quarter and it is comprised of a few levels, with permanent collections on the top floors and rotating exhibits on the first. «The Oasis of Matisse» was on display when I visited and I took one star off of this review is because I could not pay the regular admission fee of 15 euros but instead every visitor was required to pay 20 euros, whether or not they wished to see the Matisse exhibit. Of course, the exhibit was stunning because it was Matisse (and a few other artists) but it was not anything out of this world extraordinary and no different than any of his work I have seen in a few other countries.
The more interesting aspects of the museum were the multimedia installations in the basement and the performance art on the first floor. As I walked into the museum, I saw a small woman lying on the floor and did not realize that she was engaged in performance art as she was an object in «PLASTIC» by Maria Hassabi which had a long explanation for its purpose but essentially the women were lying in different positions on the first floor and on the stairs leading to the basement.
I did not want to leave the basement. It was a dark place with a few esoteric concept videos playing on larger than average white walls. Based on the lack of light and the angles of the projectors, the images of decaying animals and dancing skulls I witnessed should have been morbid, but it just felt like an interesting stroll through a mortician’s nightmares-​which made me happy. The rest of the museum was comprised of fairly standard fare and while some of it was pretty, most of it did not move me.

Went here and used our student discount (only 10 euros, so half off).
I will always give modern art a try, but I will be honest I’ve been to better modern museums. While the Matisse exhibit was really fascinating and provided great historical background, the rest of the museum fell pretty flat.
Too many of the pieces seemed similar, and others were straight up bizarre such as a bronzed pair of men’s brief underwear, hung from a decaying chair.
If modern art is your thing it’s probably worth a go, otherwise skip it and spend the extra money to see the Van Gogh museum. It took us about 2 hours to get through the whole museum, so it’s definitely not a cost efficient spot if you’re paying full price.

Amsterdam’s modern art museum houses some of the most bizarre works of «art» I ever seen in my life. I happen to find modern art questionable and just weird but others may get a kick out of it. There was even a display featuring a neon sculpture of a couple having anal sex… Not kidding. If this is your cup of tea, then enjoy. Admission was included in the I Amsterdam card which is why we went.

Charged an additional 5 € on top of the museumkart. The selection is also rather poor and limited.

I really like the modern art here! Great work from each room that I’ve gone to. The room I had the most fun in was the lego room, must have spent about a good half hour playing with legos like a 8 year old. I also found the gallery filled with a lot of furnitures and home décor to be very unique and well designed. I notice that there are huge spaces in a lot of the rooms and art that cover a whole wall at times. For any tourist, this is going to be a fun museum to go to.

Absolutely love this modern art museum.
The permanent exhibition includes some of the big names such as Chagall, Mondrian, Kandinski, Monet, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Picasso, you name it! Few but beautiful pieces… !
The upstairs floor is dedicated to temporary exhibitions and they’re in general totally worth a look.
At the moment they have the amazing work of Marlene Dumas at display, I discovered this Dutch painter and totally loved it.
The best part is that it’s never crowded, contrary to other museums in the area (still don’t understand why…). There is free wifi and a café upstairs, as well as a restaurant (outside). Free garderobe. A cute museum store.
A must-​see for all modern art lovers! :)

A really complete museum when it comes to ‘modern’ art, the collection runs from pretty much 1890 untill the current day. It has pieces from some really big names like Kandinsky, van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne, Chagall, Picasso, Mondriaan, Appel, Haring and Lichtenstein to name just a few.
Besides the regular collection they also regulary have temporary exhibitions. Currently they have several rooms in collaboration with the Tate Modern with work by Marlene Dumas.
If you’re into architecture the building itself will also appeal to you with its unusual shape. There is a litlle restaurant inside, and on sunny days you can enjoy your lunch and coffee outside.
The price is good for the quality you get and the wardrobe is free.

Modern art at it’s finest on display in abundance. It was and is an impressive collection of pieces. The museum is large when you walk in but it seems even larger once you start moving from room to endless rooms of collections and collections of art. Fortunately, there are a few benches upon which to rest and gaze upon the work.

Super Museum für moderne Kunst, auch wenn im August 2014 nicht viel von moderner Kunst zu sehen war. Zumindest gab es früher mal wesentlich mehr davon. Trotzdem auf alle Fälle zu empfehlen. Sieht nach dem Umbau auch von außen sehr schmuck aus. Die Caffeeterria ist auch zu empfehlen. Das neue Untergeschoss bietet viel Platz für Exponate. Anstehen ist selten. Prima Regenüberbrückung!

Modern Art museums can be a bit hit or miss. This one knocked it out of the park.
This seems to be a bit of a hidden jewel amongst the Amsterdam Museum scene. A Rodin sculpture was sitting right by the entrance off the park. Love his work. You’ll also see some works from Monet, Van Gogh, Kandinsky, Lichtenstein, and Picasso. There is a good flow to this place and it wasn’t busy at all. The trippy white and black rooms on the lower floor are wild.
Free wifi and lockers. There’s also a nice park outside if you need to take a coffee break between museums. Scooby snack.

Ist Mann in Amsterdam, muss und soll Mann das Stedelijk nicht verpassen. Moderne (darüber kann Mann kunstkritisch diskutieren ob dass was Mann im Stedelijk sehen kann noch modern nennen soll, vielleicht ist klassisch modern besser) Kunst (die Sammlung) und gegenwärtige Kunst (die Wechselausstellungen). Am Museumplein hat mann das Rijksmuseum und das Van Gogh Museum auf Kriechentfernung.
Übrigens, ist Mann öfters in Niederländische Museen, dann ist es klug ein Museumkaart zu kaufen € 49,95 pro Jahr Eintritt Stedelijk € 15 Rijksmuseum € 15 Van Gogh € 15 Und dann hat Mann auch kein Zwang: Ich muss Alles gesehen haben.

The most wonderful modern art museum imaginable.
Van Gogh
Monet
Chagall
Picasso
Appel
Kandinsky
Mondrian
Braque
Calder
Moore
And more…
Includes furniture and craft objects. Lots of graphic design including 2 huge walls of posters.
Very nice blending of the old part of building with the brand new part of the building. Just reopened after extensive renovation.
Take the audio tour.

A jewel in the Amsterdam museum scene!
Renewed since not too long, you can admire from outside the newest wing which had been named bath tub from the Amsterdammers :)
Really really nice. great pieces inside. Modern art arranged in ample spaces which are great to enjoy and view them with peace and not too much crowd.
Great restaurant downstairs and also upstairs.
A place definitely to visit if you live in Amsterdam or just pass by.

I came here for the Mike Kelly exhibit and stayed for the hot chocolate & coffee in the café. There is also a restaurant portion that stays open after the museum closes and serves really posh looking dishes.
It felt like there was a lot to see in the museum itself but the space still felt cozy. The layout was a little confusing as I wasn’t sure how to go to see things in the proper order. I saw everything in the reverse order from what was intended, and it dampened my enjoyment of the main exhibit a bit.
Their gift shop is very book-​centric (including John Cage’s 4’33″!) and light on the usual keychains and jewelry, so if you’re looking for an arty book, you might find one you like here. If you’re looking for a Van Gogh detachable ear refrigerator magnet, then you’re out of luck.

Great museum! I ventured there for the Mike Kelley exhibit (fascinating, hilarious, unsettling, good stuff). It was my first time at Stedelijk. I’m a fan. After thoroughly exploring Kelley’s work, I meandered into the other rooms of the museum — they have a great collection of art. The space is used well.
It’s modern, pretty inside. Nice staff. Cameras allowed. Cozy café/​restaurant.
I can’t wait for another exhibit. I really enjoyed this place.
Have fun!

We were disappointed that the Van Gogh museum had moved to a different site for remodeling, so we settled for the neigboring Stedelijk. However, we were very pleasantly surprised with this museum, from its modern collections to the huge bathtub structure outside and the awesome gift shop.
If the café is crazy crowded like it was on the Sunday we visited, there’s a grocery store adjacent to the museum. Get some picnic items and people watch on the lawn area.

1er contact avec l’art moderne hollandais !
Le musée d’art moderne de la ville étant toujours en travaux, les oeuvres temporaires étaient exposées près de la gare dans des locaux plus simplistes, mais spacieux. Le prix de l’entrée (7 euros) est plutôt cher vu le contenu de l’exposition (on a vite fait le tour) mais cela vaut tout de même le détour. Peintures étranges, photographies, films délirants… On voit de tout. J’ai surtout été impressionée par une oeuvre bien particulière: un capteur de mouvements par le son plutôt original. Autre petit côté ludique de l’expo: un artiste propose aux visiteurs du musée de coller des stickers (distribués à l’accueil) un peu partout dans les locaux pour participer et faire ainsi évoluer son oeuvre !

L’art moderne et contemporain
Le musée municipal d’Amsterdam est en fait dédié à l’art contemporain, et son bâtiment sage au regard de son voisin le Van Gogh Museum abrite une collection fort moderne, à part les impressionnistes. L’exiguïté des lieux né permet pas de présenter toutes les oeuvres, il y aurait de quoi pourtant, de Koons à Kiefer, des travaux sont en cours pour améliorer les choses, et en attendant des expositions temporaires sont présentées près de la gare.
