Full Description

STRAAT Museum, the world's largest street art museum

STRAAT opened in 2020 inside a former shipbuilding hall and quickly became one of the most talked-about attractions in Amsterdam-Noord. Its collection shows how street art has grown from spray-painted walls into a global movement, with more than 180 works by over 170 artists from many countries. If you are searching for STRAAT Museum tickets or wondering whether STRAAT is worth visiting, the scale alone answers the question.

Many pieces were made directly in the building, which is why they feel so large, raw and site-specific. You will see murals, sculptures, installations and paintings that range from playful characters to sharp political statements, all under one roof.

Inside the galleries: what to see and how long to spend

Allow about one and a half to two hours to explore at a comfortable pace. The main hall is where the biggest pieces stand, and it is worth slowing down to read the artists' backgrounds and the stories behind each style. Photography is a big part of the visit, so bring a fully charged phone or camera.

The STRAAT Gallery hosts changing solo and group exhibitions, showing where urban contemporary art has come from and where it may go next. The museum keeps producing new work, so a second visit often reveals something different. The panoramic deck adds a good view over the surrounding wharf, and there is a café on site.

How to get to STRAAT and NDSM Wharf

NDSM Wharf lies across the IJ river from Amsterdam Central Station. The classic way to get there is by taking the ferry from behind the station, a short crossing that is part of the fun, then walking a few minutes to the museum. Many visitors search for how to get to STRAAT Museum, and the ferry route is the simplest for most travellers.

The wharf itself is a creative district with murals, workshops, container studios and markets, so it is worth leaving extra time to walk around after your visit. Museum opening hours can change, and on Mondays the doors open later than on other days, so check the day you plan to visit.
