The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam showcases world-famous works and new discoveries in modern and contemporary art and design. Experience the collection in three parts, based on current themes through the years.

COLLECTION 1980 – NOW
Tomorrow is a Different Day spotlights art and design from the collection, from 1980 to the present, by international artists and designers who are helping to shape the changes of today and tomorrow. They challenge the status quo and offer alternative perspectives.
With works by Anne-Lise Coste, Martine Syms, Julie Mehretu, Marlene Dumas, Natasja Kensmil, Igshaan Adams, Carrie Mae Weems, Anne Imhof, Jeff Koons, Nan Goldin, Steve McQueen, and more.

COLLECTION 1950 – 1980
Everyday, Someday and Other Stories, traces the evolution of art and design from the 1950s to the 1980s. Artists and designers show it was an era of new opportunities and progress, of mass culture, pop culture and consumption, and of critiquing the established order. Featuring well-known and less familiar works from the collection, the presentation tells different stories from diverse perspectives, and shines a new light on the Stedelijk collection.
With works by Armand Baag, Ettore Sottsass, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Barnett Newman, Yayoi Kusama, and more.

COLLECTION UNTIL 1950
Yesterday Today shows art and design from around 1880 to 1950. With over 300 works, the exhibition shows how a single art history does not exist, but rather it encompasses many perspectives. Well-known artistic movements are discussed, such as the Amsterdam School, Functionalism, De Stijl, Bauhaus, CoBrA and the avant-garde around Kazimir Malevich and Olga Rozanova. By showing well-known works together with lesser-known highlights, other stories can rise to the surface.
