The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam is one of my favourite art museums. I visited it on a sunny, but cold Monday morning. It is located on the Museum square, with two other famous museums, the Van Gogh museum and the Rijksmuseum (picture). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Wing of the Stedelijk (2012), nicknamed the Badkuip (Bathtub). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started with the old building, walking up the monumental stairs to the mail hall, which was barren and very white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The old building houses the “collection 1980-now”, with the exception of the huge Parakeet and the Mermaid (1952) by Matisse, because this huge work of art needs a big hall. I took a few pictures, but most of the modern works didn’t really impress me. A sign that I am getting old?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new wing houses the “old” collection. The way the works of art are exhibited is quite nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a selection of what appealed to me. It was of course a feast of recognition, I had seen all these works of art many times before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But something was missing. I was not in the right mood, Strange.. I stayed in the museum less than one hour..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first floor of the new wing is dominated by this modern artwork of Barbara Kruger,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was I missing Aric? It was good that outside the sun was shining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One week later I visited the Stedelijk Museum again! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time not alone, but in the company of Nellie. We first met as freshmen at the Free University in 1961, more than sixty year ago. When I am in the Netherlands we try to meet for a cultural activity. This time we wanted to visit the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen but noticed that it had a timeslot system which was not suitable for us. Instead we decided to visit the Stedelijk. This time I was in a much more positive mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just some pictures I took during our visit<\/p>\n\n\n\n
