Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam)

Stedelijk Museum was designed to hold a personal collection bequeathed to the city in 1890 by art connoisseur Sophia de Bruyn. It is housed in a late 19th century Neo classical building, adorned with statues of famous artists and architects. In 1938, the Stedelijk Museum became the national museum of modern art, showing works by well known names such as Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, and Monet.

Among the museum's best collections are works by the Dutch painter Mondriaan (1872-1944). One of the founding members of De Stijl (The Style) - an artistic movement which espoused clarity and simplicity Mondriaan went on to produce many abstract geometrical compositions, such as Composition in Red, Black, Blue, Yellow, and Grey.

Another highlight of the museum is the Cobra collection, with a number of works by Karel Appel (born 1921), including his colorful Man and Animals (1949).

Other artists represented in the Stedelijk Museum exhibitions include the American photographer Man Ray (1890-1977), the Russian Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935), founder of the abstract movement Suprematism, and the Swiss sculptor and experimental artist, Jean Tinguely (1925-91), who created humorous sculptures from junk and recycled metal.

Stedelijk Museum changing exhibitions reflect the latest developments not only in painting and sculpture, but also in printing, drawing, photography, video, and industrial design.
