One year and one day ago, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam re-opened to the public after extensive renovations. It was also the last full day of my visit to that city … so what better time to join with thousands of Amsterdammers and tourists to have a look.
If you’re into modern and contemporary art, and you happen to be in Amsterdam, this is the place for you.
The Stedelijk is located on the south end of the Museumplein. The museum is easy to find because it’s near to pretty much every other major museum in the city … and also because of the distinctive exterior of the museum expansion.
Admission is covered by the Amsterdam museum card (Museumkaart) if you have one. Otherwise, check out their website for current admission rates.
