STEDELIJK MUSEUM AMSTERDAM

To mark the 750th anniversary of the city of Amsterdam, the Stedelijk Museum presents its new Don Quixote Sculpture Hall as a unique gift to the city.

In addition to the new free to access Sculpture Hall, the wider entrance area has been fully refurbished to offer an enriched visitor experience featuring a spacious seating area, a long multi-purpose reading table, the relocated museum shop and the new FONDA Bar curated by Amsterdam food design studio Oficina.

For the Stedelijk’s new entrance hall, the renovation had to be both timeless and radical. We wanted to create a space that can express its inner qualities: being a sculpture hall as well as a public space for the city of Amsterdam and allow all kinds of new activities to emerge from it.
