There were areas of the museum that were beyond my comprehension or even explanation, art and design are subjective however knocking some nails poorly into some old kitchen doors I don't understand or appreciate yet other parts inspirational so there so perhaps that's how should be, challenging. There are without question some amazing work there way ahead of it time so effectively timeless.

A wide range of modern art showing the progression of styles in relation to political developments and cultural movements over the 20th. Some very beautiful graphics and objects. Fantastic bath tub building on the outside and good white space on the inside. Lovely old staircase containing marine fososls in the marble.

We really enjoyed the Stedelijk Museum! It will become one of our favorites. The museum provided free audio guide, but you should bring your own headphones (not supplied). Not only did we recognize many of the modern artists on the lower flow, but we were learned so much additionally about eco trends in art, fabrics, furniture etc. as well as being able touch and see many of the amazing products. We also enjoyed the many video displays on the upper floor. The museum itself is a piece of art inside and out. It is so unusual. The entrance floor had a black-light and multi-media series of rooms that were fascinating. We also noticed a hands on and "play" area for the little ones. The museum was not crowded. We spent 2 hours and probably could have spent more. Maybe it's because we had no expectations that the museum had such a great impact. We highly recommend!
