Do you decide to go back in time to discover retro arcade games, or are you more into traditional board games? Whatever your preference may be, there will be enough to cater all your needs. Definitely do not forget to build your own pinball machine and to join the Blikopener Bingo, as there will be chances to win awesome prizes!
Game over? Of course not! After you have played your heart out, your journey through the Stedelijk Museum starts.

Explore art in a new, fresh and playful fashion at the guidance of extremely talented artists by the likes of Howard Komproe, Hans Aarsman and Maarten Bel. They will ‘Roast the Art’, a concept in which the most prominent artworks within the collection will be put to the test of satire. So, what are you still waiting for? > PRESS 2 PLAY
