*What can you visit?
Extasis. A Universe of Light and Sound
15 July 2023 to 14 January 2024
From stunning installations to subtle shadows, Ekstasis will transform the museum into a pleasure garden for the senses. The exhibition reveals how artists use the latest devices and tools to evoke a temporary, different reality – and how this changes from one era to the next. What do you want to escape? And how do you do that?
Carte Blanche (Fuck the Dictator)
9 July 2023 - 14 January 2024
The words ‘Fuck the Dictator‘ adorned the boxing robe that visual artist Anne Wenzel wore when she stepped into the ring at the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam on 14 September 2019. Her opponent was the museum’s director at the time, Deirdre Carasso. Wenzel defeated Carasso and won carte blanche at the museum. The current museum director, Anne de Haij, is now honouring that promise and has granted Anne Wenzel complete freedom on a floor of one of the wings of the museum, as well as the support of the museum’s team, to do whatever she likes with it.
Panorama Schiedam
From 14 May 2022
In Panorama Schiedam, the museum tells stories of the city, from hard workers, dreamers and adventurers to heroes, strategists and survivors.
Art in the stairwell

*To look forward to.
Yayoi Kusama. The Dutch Years 1966-1970
23 September 2023 - 25 February 2024
Yayoi Kusama. The Dutch Years 1965-1970 paints a surprising new picture of a self-aware young Kusama, who laid the foundations for her world-conquering artistic oeuvre in a version of the Netherlands characterised by its Provo counterculture movement, happenings and youth culture.
Levi van Veluw. Planetary Chapel. 2021
23 September 2023 - 25 February 2024
From September 23, the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam will be presenting its latest acquisition, Levi van Veluw’s Planetary Chapel (2021), in a blue, tranquil space specially designed for the piece. Externally, the work resembles a modern interpretation of a small altar. It features an ingenious mechanism, designed by Van Veluw himself, which opens the hatches and reveals an extraordinary interplay of rotating golden planets.

Route*
*This is how you get to us.
Our address
Hoogstraat 112
3111 HL Schiedam
By public transport, bike or car?
Here’s some tips on how to get to us.
Public transport
Buses 51, 54 and 89, and trams 21 and 24 stop at the Koemarkt stop, a three-minute walk from the museum.
You can take a tram or walk directly from Schiedam Centraal train station, where there are regular trains including the five-minute Intercity from Rotterdam Centraal.
It’s a 20-minute walk from the station to the museum, past the beautiful Sint Janskerk, and the tree on the Grote Markt in which Carice van Houten sat as Poes Minoes in the film of the same name. A small detour will take you along the newly restored Lange Haven, the main artery of the historic centre.
Plan your journey easily with 9292.
Bike
It’s just a 20-minute cycle from Rotterdam Centraal, and there is bicycle parking on the street in front of the museum.
Car
Of course, nothing is too far with a car! There’s paid parking near the museum using a bank card or parking app, but spaces are limited. There are three different car parks a short walking distance from the museum. We recommend the first because the route to the museum takes you past some beautiful spots in the old city centre.
