What is it?
The Stedelijk is one of the holy trinity of museums in Amsterdam (the other two being the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum). What separates it from its compatriots is its focus: the Stedelijk is all about modern and contemporary art.
Is the Stedelijk Museum worth visiting?
Are you a fan of modern art? If yes, you should go. Hosted in a building that looks kinda like a bathtub, the Stedelijk displays work from an array of modern masters, including Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol.
Tickets, accessibility and booking
While the Stedelijk is less busy than the other two big hitters on Museumplein, it’s still not recommended to get tickets on the door. You can buy them online for €22.50, which is on par with other museums in the area.
In regards to accessibility, the Stedelijk has lifts and disabled toilets, as well as a range of schemes for other people with impairments. Check its accessibility page for more.
Where’s good to eat near the Stedelijk museum?
A ten minute walk away is The Bab, a no-frills Korean spot at the heart of Amsterdam with good portion sizes and reasonable prices.
