The museum is located in the former Sint Jacobs Gasthuis, which was founded between the years 1262 and 1272. After the demolition of the original building at the end of the 18th century, it is rebuilt in a neoclassical style. The architect Jan Giudici designed a U-shaped building with two wings connected by a chapel. Expositions are usually engaging and involves social and political art works that pushes you to think. It easily accessible if you are less mobile and it usually takes about 1,5 hours to explore the building.

Excellent modern art exhibitions with very funny signs around the museum. There was Covid-19 photo exhibit, a wing about Realism, and a big installation of a moving plate that it was a standout. Varied. I had a good hour and a half inside.
Small but wonderful museum with carefully curated exhibitions. Also, nice coffee and snacks available in the main hall.
Walked in on a whim and really enjoyed. Good mix of various modern artists and art forms. The sugar inspired exhibition was more interesting than expected.
A touch expensive if you’re not a local or student, by worth every euro. You can sit alone in a room with a Rothko painting. That was quite a memorable moment. In addition, you will find an exhibit celebrating High Street (the infamous street for shops and such showcasing the oldest and newest addition. The other exhibit was sharing works of female artists from Dutch history. If that wasn’t interesting enough, it pairs the artists from the past with female artists from today. Well worth a visit. Please explore High Street after visiting this museum as it takes on a whole new vibe once you learn about its past.
