The museum building of the Street Art Museum Amsterdam is also unique. The exhibition is located in an 8,000 m² former factory hall of the NDSM shipyard in the north of Amsterdam.
The atmosphere of the abandoned industrial hall is a great setting for the artworks.

The STRAAT occupies only part of the former shipyard buildings. Its neighbors are creative businesses, start-ups, artists’ workshops, restaurants and cafés. A contrast worth seeing to the historic city center.

We therefore recommend to buy an online ticket early. This is possible, for example, at no extra charge and with free cancellation (up to 24h before the date) via this website.

We can highly recommend visiting the museum with children for the following reasons:
1 Admission for children up to and including 12 years old is free. This shows that the STRAAT Museum is very family-friendly. Tip: You still need a free ticket for children.
2 There is a free, well-done museum quiz for children. If all questions are solved correctly, the little ones get a gift. This way, children can discover the museum in a playful way.
3 The large works of art and the atmosphere of the old shipyard hall are also impressive for children.
4 After the museum visit, you can discover the exciting surroundings of the STRAAT. On the former shipyard area there are large squares and little traffic. Here children can let off steam. After all, this is only possible to a limited extent in downtown Amsterdam.
5 The 15-minute ride on the free ferry is interesting not only for children…
You can visit the exhibition on the first floor in a wheelchair. The rough concrete floor of the former shipyard is not completely flat.
