    Stedelijk Museum
    by Jarin
    It is built in 1895 (neorenaissance style designed by A.W. Weissman) to house the works which were given to the city from Sophia de Bruyn. However since 1938 it is a national museum for modern art, where you can find works from Picasso, Matisse, Mondriaan, Cézanne en Monet. There are also regularly temporary exhibitions.
    Due to the renovation and expansion of the building is the Stedelijk Museum closed.
    Museum is now located in former TPG Building (the post group) - near Central Station.
    The temporary address is: Oosterdokskade 3-5, Amsterdam

    The Stedelijk Museum is the Amsterdam Museum of modern art.

    When I was young I saw the Campbell soup can pictures by Andy Warhol and much more sixties pop art.

    The Museum normally is at the Museum square, together with its bigger brothers, the Van Gogh - and Rijksmuseum.
    The building is under total reconstruction, see building activities.

    A part of the collection could be seen at Stedelijk CS till october 2008. 2009 Update: The building close to the Central Station is being demolished in Spring. Now there are exhibitions throughout the city; check the website for up-to-date information.

    After the reconstruction is finished, the main museum will open at the end of 2009.

    Visiting hours:
    Daily: 10AM - 6PM

    Admission: Euro 9.00

    I thoroughly enjoyed this museum. After the dissappointment of not being able to go the Rijksmuseum (temporarily closed to clean asbestos out), the Stedelijk cheered me up. It houses a wonderful collection that includes some Chagall, Picasso, deKooning, Mondrian as well as some wonderful pieces from lesser known artists. I was particularly fascinated with some of the amazing photographs.

    UPDATE: The Stedelijk is no longer on the Museumplein but down by the waterfront and the Nemo.

    Amsterdam's "MOMA" - its Museum of modern and contemporary art - is temporarily located (at least until 2010) in the "POST CS" building - an old office and warehouse center for the post office. Lots of interesting temporary exhibits are being staged here while large-scale renovations are being made to the permanent building located close to the Rijksmuseum on Museumplein.

    The Post CS building was designed by a famous modernist, Piet Elling, and is considered to be a classic of its type. My friend and I didn't have a chance to go to the Stedelijk, even though there was an interesting exhibit of modern news photography that I would have liked to see. However, we did pay a visit to the club on the 11th floor - quite nice!

    Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art: Ice Skating on the Canals...

    Ice Skating on the Canals happens very rarely. Winters in A'dam just don't get cold enough on average. This is actually an outdoor skating rink behind the Rijksmuseum and it's kept frozen by large, noisy chillers. The music was blaring loud enough on the 'plein that they were hardly noticeable though.
    If you squint and use your imagination, you can pretend they're skating on the canals. Heck, if you take your picture carefully enough you may be able to convince your friends back home that it is a canal!
