SAMA follows street art across the whole city

Street Art Museum Amsterdam has no museum building: murals and routes are located in neighbourhoods and can be explored independently using a map and audio tour.

Plan your visit ↗

Art in everyday street life

First look at the façade, square and residents’ routes around a mural. The meaning lies not only in the image, but also in the place where people live and pass by.

Work can change

Outdoor work ages, is painted over or disappears through demolition. Compare the current wall with the photo and dating in the Street Art Map before you fully trust a route description.

SAMA is not STRAAT

SAMA is an ecomuseum with routes in several districts; STRAAT is the large indoor venue at NDSM. Guided SAMA tours require a group request of ten people or more.

Before you go

Self-guided outdoor visits are possible at any time; use IZI.travel and the current Street Art Map. Guided groups on request only.
