Although this is a temporary exhibition we really enjoyed it. I think they must have expanded it since previous reviewers have posted their comments as there was enough to keep us occupied for over three hours. At the moment they have a fabulous exhibition of Wim Crouwel, one of the most famous dutch graphic designers. At ten euros we thought... More

Most Dutch museums are undergoing restorartion, or will be in near future, so you expect to find partial exhibitions, or "highlights" only, but in many cases these are very interesting exhibitions, a good example is the Reijksmuseum. The Stedeleijk is the worst of the bunch. They stil have plenty of space, but they decided to hide most of their permanent... More

Very little to see and most of it is poorly presented and not very interesting. Many rooms are simply empty. Definitely not worth visiting at this time More

Due to.renovations the museum has very little on display. I found it discounting to see so many empty rooms. I would not go there unless they have a better exhibition or have completed their renovations. More

Art Gallery is closed for refurbishment. We visited 6 months ago, and there was still enough on exhibit to enjoy. This week though, there was just a couple of floors open, and it cost over 20 euros for a family of 4. Wait for the reopening! More

disappointed to turn up at the Stedelijk's temporary home to find that none of the permanent collection was on display. Temporary exhibits ok, but foyer area and lifts of building very dilapidated. Good views from the 11th floor, though More

Whilst I love art and this gallery has much to enjoy and savour in the way of contemporary works I must just give a vote to the restaurant on the top floor.It has long windows and 360 views right across the harbour and Dam (if you can bag a window seat or long central tables if you can't). The food... More
