About

An Amsterdam museum unlike any other

Amsterdam is home to many famous art museums, such as the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. STRAAT both fits in perfectly and stands out in the best way possible. The art in the world-renown museums once impacted the world of fashion, design and culture in a major way, today street art and graffiti have the same impact.

The museum fits the art on show perfectly, both inside and out. It is set in an old 8000 m2 industrial warehouse, which is as rough and radical as the art on display. The museum doesn’t aim to be comfortable, there is no heating inside and floors can be uneven, much like the art wants to challenge you.

Creative epicentre

The works on display rotate frequently, while more art is added to the collection constantly. If you plan your visit carefully, you can even watch how artists create new pieces on the spot. The many artists whose work is on display are a representation of the international street art movement and have earned their rep with their personal stories, background, style and talent.

The art on show was made to be seen at STRAAT; just like street art out on the street, the works are made on location. Even the outside of the building is part of the collection, with a giant multi-coloured portrait of Anne Frank. The building is located in the former NDSM wharf, which is an art gallery in itself as well as a national monument. Everywhere you look, from walls to cranes and containers, is covered in fresh paint from Amsterdam’s long-vibrant graffiti scene.

Inside the art is just as big as it would be as if the artists took to the walls outside on the streets. The difference is that, as a museum, STRAAT ads context and information about the art. So you can learn all about the artists true meaning with their pieces, which you can’t learn anywhere else.

Get your tickets to the museum for street art and graffiti

The NDSM wharf was once a hidden gem of Amsterdam, but it is gaining more visitors every day. Tours now include it on their routes and so should you during your visit to Amsterdam. Get your tickets to STRAAT and get ready to explore Amsterdam’s raw northern district.

Excellent exhibition in a great location

We loved our visit to STRAAT museum. The location is great and there were so many fantastic works of art to see, we were totally delighted. There's also a very nice café with great views to have a drink.

Beautiful museum in unique setting

Even though I'm not crazy about graffiti art - visiting this museum was a great experience. The huge artworks, the unique space, and the colorfulness of everything made for a fantastic visual experience. I did not read the explanations of all the works, but the free phone-based audio tour gives some interesting explanations, and some large signs provide interesting clarifications about types of graffiti work, about the influence of graffiti on social campaigns etc.

Fabulous

This has got to be the best place to see this art form.. I can honestly say it's the longest I've stayed at a gallery. We loved it. Easy to hop on the free ferry at the back of the train station. Head for the building with the mural of Anne Frank on he side. A large factory building,well laid out. Some seating benches as you walk round and plenty of information as you walk round. Toilets on upper level as is the street food cafe.

Amsterdam's Hidden Gem: Discover the Bold Art of NDSM on a Ferry Ride from Centraalnvelopes your senses

During our trip to Amsterdam, one of the standout experiences was visiting a unique venue that perfectly complemented the boldness of the art on display. To get there, simply take the ferry from Centraal and spend the day in the NDSM area. This is definitely a must-see!

Not to be missed

Wow what an experience that shouldn’t be missed of anyone’s list visiting Amsterdam ! The adventure begins getting to the place, short ferry ride across from Amsterdam central station We have visited many graffiti exhibitions all over the world and this one stands close at the top as one of our favourites! The size of each piece of art is amazing and how it is displayed in the building A large variety of artwork to view and so much information shared on each piece We didn’t take a guided tour, we chose to work our way a round the exhibition by ourselves. It’s one of the first exhibitions visited not to have a big display of Banksy but in reality it has so many other artists artworks that’s just as incredible it wasn’t missed. The vibe is so relaxed and open it was an enjoyable visit Cafe was welcoming and in style to the exhibition Amazing visit and we will be back next time in the city.

Indrukwekkende plek, toegankelijk voor rolstoel.

Mooie exposities met streetart. Om Donkey moest ik erg lachen, echt fantastisch. Complete info bij ingang over toegankelijkheid. Ivm verbouwing kon ik in de shop me melden, om gebruik te maken van een lift. Later zal deze vrij toegankelijk zijn neem ik aan. Café op de tweede verdieping heeft heerlijke dranken warm en koud en een goede kaart qua streetfood. Aanrader is de funky fries! De koffie is er heerlijk. De hal zelf is wat lastig rijden, ivm metalen strips om de 2(??) meter. Mijn rolstoel heeft een elektrische aandrijving, met beleid goed te doen. Om te duwen lijkt me wat ongemakkelijk. Een installatie is met klein platform lift te bereiken. De andere lift gaat naar eerste en tweede verdieping. Wc’s bereikbaar met oprijplaat, invalidetoilet met sleutel. Kwam hier terecht na de Friends Experience, deze ligt 300 m verder. Kan dit museum aanbevelen, leuke sfeer en goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. En goede horeca voorzieningen!

Sympa!

Très sympa, différents styles, cela parle aussi des femmes dans ce milieu donc top! Sinon pour info, ils prêtent des fauteuils roulants gratuitement donc ça c'est super par contre pour les "purs" français les écrits et l'appli audio guide est en anglais ou néerlandais.

Expérience incroyable, l'espace est immense et il y accueille de très belles œuvres, les dimensions sont impressionnantes, on plonge dans cet univers magique ! L'environnement est super aussi, on débarque en ferry pour y accéder et on trouve des restos sympa à proximité toujours dans cet univers industriel ! Parfait
