Amsterdam's museum of modern and contemporary art and design on the Museumplein, in a nineteenth-century building joined to a large white extension completed in 2012.
For twentieth-century and contemporary work seen in comfort, and for a collection that includes design and applied art alongside painting. It is the counterweight to the Golden Age and Van Gogh story the other two tell.
Noticeably quieter than its neighbours, slightly cheaper at 22,50 euros, free under 19 and 12,50 for students and CJP holders. Sharing the Museumplein with the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum means no travel between them.
If you can only do one Museumplein museum, this is not it, and the museum competes directly with two more famous neighbours. No entry after 5.45pm despite a 6pm close. The extension is genuinely divisive architecture.
Visitors staying long enough to do more than one museum, anyone interested in modern design as well as art, students on the 12,50 rate and families given free under-19 entry.
You have one museum slot in Amsterdam. Take the Rijksmuseum, or the Van Gogh Museum if he is the draw. The Stedelijk is the third visit, not the first.
Arrive before 5.45pm or you will not get in regardless of the 6pm closing time. Pair it with the Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh Museum on the same square, ideally with this one second when the others have worn you out and you want somewhere calm.
Adults pay 22,50 euros and students and CJP holders pay 12,50 euros. Visitors under 19 go free, as do Stedelijk members. Open daily 10am to 6pm with no entry after 5.45pm.
Tram 2 or 12 to Rijksmuseum, or tram 5 to Museumplein, both on the same square. Roughly twenty-five minutes on foot from Amsterdam Centraal.
Museumplein 10 in Amsterdam Zuid, on the same square as the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Concertgebouw, in a quiet and well-off part of the city away from the canal-belt crowds.
Ninety minutes to two hours. It is comfortably done in an afternoon alongside one of its neighbours.
The museum is served by lifts across both buildings and publishes accessibility information for visitors with reduced mobility.
The Museumplein museum people skip and should not, provided it is your second or third rather than your only one. Go late in the day for the quiet, but be through the door before 5.45pm.

The Stedelijk charges 22,50 euros for adults and 12,50 for students and CJP holders, with free entry for visitors under 19. It opens 10am to 6pm daily, with no entry after 5.45pm. It is the third museum on the Museumplein and the one most visitors drop when their schedule tightens. That is exactly why it is worth keeping: the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum are both excellent and both crowded, while the…
