Art AND Culture

Stedelijk Museum Schiedam is the museum for modern and contemporary art. Stedelijk Museum Schiedam has been collecting art from 1945 onwards since the 50s.

Windmill de Walvisch is Schiedam’s museum windmill. After visiting the museum shop and windmill shop take the stairs to the panoramic attic and enjoy a wonderful view over the historic city centre.

When you enter this authentic local shop, you step into the past. All the sweets of yesteryear can be bought here.

A visit to Schiedam is not complete without sipping the drink which made the city world famous: gin.

OpenArtExchange is an international art gallery which aims to stimulate and connect contemporary visual artists from non-Western countries with the Western art and culture world.

TURQUOISE GALLERY in Schiedam believes art is important, a space where logic and imagination meet. A means to express that which is inexpressible through words.

Art Gallery Voûte (started in Rotterdam in 1994) is independent, unconventional (sometimes to the point of being nonconformist) and has an international orientation. The gallery's style can be described as somewhat eclectic.

A large collection of books, a beautiful courtyard with a reading table and many study spaces with a beautiful view over the historic centre. Free Wi-Fi, a large collection of DVDs, Blu-rays and comics, and even roasted coffee. That is the library (bibliotheek) of Schiedam.
