    Extremely immersive collection of modern art and design. Temporary exhibition of Studio Drift is something that everyone should see and experience - is a piece of innovations truly touching emotions.

    Okay, there are permanent part which consists of works by famous artists like Chagall, Picasso, Modrian and so on and temporary part which is so crazy that could be impressive only with mushrooms. >_<

    Also known by locals as the giant bath tub. It is dedicated to modern and contemporary art and design. Usually it is not as crowded as the Van Gogh museum or the Rijksmuseum so it's worth checking... Read more

    A must see for modern Art lovers. Check out the book shop in the entrance hall, there are often some expensive illustrated books on sale.

    Very nice art museum with the levitating cube :) I liked their bar exposition from the past where you can see how the bar in LA looked like. Pretty nice place to visit

    Best Modern Art museum in The Netherlands. Great architecture and spacious. Save money! Buy a Museum Jaarkaart at the entrance instead of separate tickets for Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh and other museums.

    Must see in Amsterdam. One of my top 5 modern art museums in the world. Think MoMa meets Dia:Beacon with Dutch influence.

    Modern art. Usually with great temporary expositions and the regular art collection is awesome too. Go to the halls where you find the Roy Lichtenstein item and Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue.

    Great permanent collection - Malevich, Mondriaan, Kandinsky, Chagall. On the second floor the exhibition is more crazy, but at least you can have fun)

    Good collection of modern art with hilights such as Picasso, Mondrian, Kadinsky, Chagall and de Kooning 🎨 All the contemporary art is terribly cliché and unimpressive. Not worth a full price ticket.
  • Marguerite s.heart icon on user image
    Unlike Van Gogh Museum it's easier to get in. You can pay in cash. Currently you can see Chagall, Mondrian, Picasso exhibition

    One of the best contemporary art museums of the Netherlands. You'll find Barnett Newman, Yves Klein, Piet Mondriaan, Malevich and many others in its collection.

    Definitely one of the best art museums in Ansterdam (better than Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh museum nearby). Great variety of interesting modern art. Good gift shop too.

    Interesting collection of modern art. Get the museumkaart for €60 if you plan on hitting all 3 €15 museums in this area and almost anything else in Amsterdam that requires a ticket!

    Visited Marcel Wanders exhibition, which I reccomend to see if you´re into design or art generally. I liked especially black dark room with some monstrous pieces and meaningful quotes on the wall...

    I liked the expo about design and the fact that this museum doesn't have a 3 hour line like many others in Amsterdam. The negative side - it is very very expensive. A museum should be more accessible.

    Very good overview of modern art/design with some great pieces of Malevich, Mondriaan and Rietveld ... less impressive pieces regarding contemporary art, but in a whole a very strong exhibition ...

    Quick visit and this gallery seemed nice, with modern art as soon as you enter. They let me in with a bottle of water, but then chucked me out when I was in there. Humph!

    Should have been good but many of the temporary exhibitions today let it down. More of the photographs from South Africa's LGBTI community and designs for refugees please and less of the pretentious!

    The time slot system is insane. 2 lines: people who have a e ticket/pass or people who need to buy a ticket. Both only get in at the top of the hour in batches. Waited an hour from 10:40-11:45
