FamilyVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Great visit, full of interesting works of art and good stories behind their creators. For sure you'll find out outstanding pieces, unusual forms, subliminal spaces, concepts, messages (in sum) that you'll not only enjoy aesthetically but also will make you rethink your everyday reality. A "must" visit in your stay in Amsterdam.SSuperbi M
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5Everything went well. We got the tickets quickly, and entry was convenient. Both exhibitions are interesting for modern art lovers.VVioleta O
CoupleVerified bookingYesterday5/5It’s perfect for those who enjoy modern, edgy, and interactive art, though it’s more about impact and atmosphere than traditional galleries. The space is compact, so you can explore it in under an hour, but the visuals and ideas linger long after you leave.SSusan F
CoupleVerified bookingLast week4/5All artwork is great. It was extremely busy when we were there which made it difficult to move around. I think the staff tried to spread us out by encouraging us to start at the top and work our way down but that rendered the audio guide completely uselessNNatascha K
