By looking at art together, you will get to know your familiy even better. No worries if the baby cries or you burst out laughing together; that's more than welcome at the Stedelijk. A perfect day out with your aunt, grandfather, stepmother, bonus dad, half-sister or second cousin.  

On this page you will find all the extra programming and activities for children and families, which are always free at the Stedelijk!

SUMMER AT STEDELIJK

Drop-in workshop: draw, seal, deliver

Free, every day from July 4 to August 16, 2026

Artists often try to make you look at your environment in a different way. By stopping somewhere and looking closely, you can discover things that others may overlook. What happens if you look longer at a place that you normally walk past quickly? What details do you suddenly notice? 

During this workshop you will make your own work of art on a postcard, which you can immediately send to someone you want to surprise!

ALWAYS AT STEDELIJK

FAMILY LAB

Here you get to play all sorts of games with some of the Stedelijk’s artworks—and with each other. Have a go at playing WHO’S WHO? Study the artworks and use your best detective questions to guess which one belongs to your opponent. Take part in the quiz show WHICH OF THE THREE? Guess which story goes with which artwork. And do you want to see what the art from the games are like in real life? Then grab one of the BINGO CARDS and go hunt them down! 

KIDS Audio Tour

Calling all young art fans!

A clever bird lives in the museum… and so does a strange little creature who has no idea what it is. Join them on a fun quest through the galleries, full of quirky shapes, funny figures and hidden stories. You are welcome to pick up a map at the front desk in the museum and a free audio tour device.
