Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam
Weissman Building
Dutch architect Adriaan Willem Weissman designed the building for the
Stedelijk in 1895. The design of the upper façade and tower in a
combination of pale stone and red brick give the exterior of the
building a 16th-century Dutch Neo-Renaissance look.
The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, built in 1895, is the major
museum for modern and contemporary art and design in the Netherlands.
The Stedelijk Museum reopened on September 23rd 2012 after an
intensive renovation and expansion project. With the addition of a
futuristic new wing, designed by Benthem Crouwel Architects, the
Stedelijk has more space than ever to show its renowned collection and
outstanding exhibitions.

present, the collection includes iconic works by Karel Appel, Wassily
Kandinsky, Willem de Kooning, Jeff Koons, Kazimir Malevich, Henri
Matisse, Piet Mondriaan, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol and many others.
