The Stedelijk’s original 1895 building on the Museumplein is currently undergoing major restoration. The museum is also being extended by the construction of a spectacular new building, designed by Benthem Crouwel Architekten. The whole operation will give it considerable extra space and enable it to show more of its famous collection than ever before.
We are not sure about th openings date yet, we are awaiting the latest information from the City of Amsterdam, who is commissioner of the building procedure… Things should be clear upcoming Spring.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, other people are hard at work on internal arrangements for the new museum, its shop and restaurant, 90,000 art works are being moved to a huge new depot, and the collection itself is being restored. Publications and a new website are also in the pipeline. So that the Stedelijk will soon, once again, be the place to see classic modern and contemporary art: a platform for deeper understanding, exciting new ideas, events and encounters.
