Stedelijk A-Z: Discover the collection
Collectionguide — Jun 24, 2024
Explore the stories behind the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam from A to Z. More than 130 well- and lesser-known works are highlighted. Prepare to be surprised by the mix of art forms and the unexpected connections that emerge as a result.
The makers are organized alphabetically by first name, ranging from modernist painter Agus Djaya to contemporary photographer and visual activist Zanele Muholi. A concluding essay describes how transformations of the building since its founding in 1895 reflect changing ideas about the role of the museum.
This collection guide is like the museum itself: a place for encounter, change, reflection, reinterpretation, and polyphony. But above all, it offers fantastic art and design, packaged in a practical, multicolored pocket format, so you can discover it anywhere, anytime.
