Behind the Central Train Station(which looks like a palace),
you can take a boat ride to the windmills at the Zaanse Schans. 
You will basicly pass my house.

Amsterdam is rather small, so you can walk around the center and pretty much see everything in a day or two. Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum and Moco (Banksy) are all on the same square ; Museum Plein.

A question I never thought I’d hear.

Now what is there to do in Amsterdam 🧐

Fries and mayo! Mmmm

Just leaving this one here ... Solo show in STRAAT Museum in Amsterdam. This place is worth a visit anyway, so kill two birds with one stone!

"Shepard Fairey at STRAAT

Shepard Fairey, the renowned artist and activist, is coming to STRAAT! Known for his iconic 'Andre The Giant Has A Posse' imagery, and Barack Obama’s 'Hope' campaign poster, Shepard will be showcasing his incredible talent in a major solo exhibition at our STRAAT Gallery. Not only will the exhibition feature over 130 of his works, but Shepard and his team are also creating two new murals: one on the museum's West exterior wall and a large-scale piece for the interior main hall collection. The gallery exhibition, titled "Printed Matters: Raise the Level," runs until Sunday, October 1st, 2023. Don't miss the chance to see Shepard Fairey's biggest solo exhibition ever in the Netherlands.

Solo exhibition Shepard Fairey / Printed Matters: Raise the Level 

Printed Matters: Raise the Level focuses on promoting the well-being of our planet. The phrase "raise the level" encompasses various aspects, including raising awareness about the impacts of burning fossil fuels and climate change, the rising sea levels caused by global warming, and the need for immediate action to protect the Earth. In essence, it urges us to elevate our efforts to save the planet.

Shepard Fairey's solo exhibition at STRAAT goes beyond environmental concerns and also addresses pressing issues such as nationalism, xenophobia, war, fake news, and threats to democracy. Fairey effectively communicates with viewers by incorporating familiar symbols, portraits, and texts in his artwork, encouraging them to engage in a meaningful dialogue about these relevant issues."

When I am in Amsterdam, I always like to go by a small 'shop' in the center.

P.S. Worth asking to see their 'secret garden'   (hopefully it's still there by then!)

Hotel Arena might be able to help

Nice! We will be in Amsterdam in about two weeks so will be sure to check out the exhibit!

Take your point but to be fair Mando Marie has been doing this type of work for years 

Just got home from a trip to Amsterdam with the family. A definite "don't miss" was the Straat museum. It was an amazing opportunity to get up close with works by well known street artists from around the world, many that I already knew and others that I just discovered while walking the huge space.

I shared several photo on Instagram that show the scope of the museum.

French graffiti artist Seth Globepainter will have a new show at Amsterdam Straat museum. Opening night is on Thursday 3 October. Of course the artist will be present during the opening. Seth will paint a new, large mural for the museum too. The museum shop will sell goodies from the show, like t-shirts, hoodies, books and prints.

If anyone needs anything (signed or not), just let me know. I can try to arrange some things, to a limited extent of course.
