In August 2010 the Stedelijk Museum opened its doors with a unique program in the restored, historical building called The Temporary Stedelijk. While work continues on the expansion of the museum, the Stedelijk Museum continues its temporary program with Temporary Stedelijk 2, which focuses on the renowned collection of modern and contemporary art and design.

The exhibition showcases the breadth of the museum’s collections, which include over 90,000 works of painting, sculpture, photography, film, video, works on paper, artist’s books, applied arts and industrial and graphic design. On show are works by Piet Mondrian, Kazimir Malevich, Charley Toorop, Henri Matisse, Donald Judd, Willem De Kooning, Yves Klein and Bruce Nauman, among others.

As selections from the collections are presented on a rotating basis, returning visitors will have the opportunity to see different works over the coming months.

To encourage exploration and expand upon the content of the exhibition, the Stedelijk continues its multi-faceted program of activities and events comprising lectures, symposia, performances, film evenings and other events.
