Local before arrival
Provocative, decadent, controversial—the municipal museum’s addition made of glossy white plastic resin looks a bit like a super-sized bathtub next to the centuries-old main brick building. Despite or perhaps precisely because of its unflattering nickname “badkuip,” Stedelijk has once again become an Amsterdam hotspot. The modern art exhibitions are popular, and the relaxed museum café on the ground floor is a welcoming spot for everyone.
