Wandering from room to room, you’ll discover a colorful collection of art in our stairwells*. Works by no fewer than nine different artists hang along the stairs.

Since the museum’s renovation in 2022, the stairwells have been spectacularly renovated. You can also look outside again; previously, the windows were hidden in the wall. “To celebrate that flooding daylight, we asked contemporary artists to leave a work in this beautiful spot in the building,” says museum director Anne de Haij. The chosen artists were Joana Schneider, Timo Demollin, Jennifer Tee, Femmy Otten, Iriée Zamblé along with the duo Opperclaes, Susanne Khalil Yusef, Zoro Feigl, Chaim van Luit, and Lily van der Stokker.

*Lily van der Stokker’s mural can be found at the City Gallery.

These artworks were made possible in part by the Municipality of Schiedam and the Mondriaan Fund. Timo Demollin’s work was also made possible by a generous contribution from Piet and Ida Sanders-Sanders.
