About Stedelijk Museum
Founded in 1895, the Stedelijk holds one of the world's leading collections of modern and contemporary art, from Mondrian and Malevich to today's design and digital practice.
Benthem Crouwel Architects' striking white extension, opened in 2012, doubled the gallery space and gave the building its instantly recognisable silhouette on the Museumplein.
