Join a two hour tour exploring the Dutch Golden Age through the eyes of the most fabulous paintings of the Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals or Jan Steen. By giving historical background information and explaining also the lives of different painters we will be able to sketch a total picture of this incredible century during which Amsterdam from a small fishing village became a world player pioneering international trade and establishing new world order based on new values for a "New World". This exhilarating journey will make the 17th century come alive and speak to you in the way in which it is still relevant today.
The Stedelijk Museum offers a great journey through time and explores the whole story of modern and contemporary art. How can we find a connection between such different artists as Van Gogh and Jeff Koons? What could bring Monet and Newman together? This is a journey through time, the story of a century and the questions that artists asked themselves. Every room offers a decade of art, a period and a style, but they are not separate from each other. They talk to each other and form a never ending discussion. We can join them in their quest and ask ourselves where will be the art of the future.
This museum also offers temporary exhibitions that you could explore for yourselves after the tour. The tour will last approximately 2 hours.
