Stedelijk Museum Schiedam brings art into an old hospice

In the former Sint-Jacobs Gasthuis, contemporary Dutch art, Schiedam stories, a studio and changing exhibitions come together.

Art facing a monument

Compare a contemporary work with the floor, light and architecture of the former hospice. Ask how the display takes the historic space into account.

Schiedam gets several voices

Local stories may stand alongside art from across the country. In each room, read who selects, speaks or is quoted and which sources are visible.

The studio extends the looking

Making something yourself is not a copying exercise. Choose one technique from an exhibition and explore material, gesture or composition in the studio.

Before you go

Open Tuesday–Sunday 11.00–17.00; closed on Monday. Also open on Easter Monday, Whit Monday and Boxing Day; closed on King’s Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. In 2026 a temporary exhibition surcharge may apply, including for pass holders.
