Welcome to the Bathtub: Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum Reopens with Addition by Benthem Crouwel

Queen Beatrix herself was on hand this weekend (in a festive red ensemble, no less) to reopen the Stedelijk Museum, which has undergone an extensive renovation and gained a new wing designed by Mels Crouwel of Benthem Crouwel Architects. The Amsterdam institution’s original building dates to 1895, and virtually all of its program spaces have now been converted to galleries for the first comprehensive display of the Stedelijk’s permanent collection of modern and contemporary art and design (think Aalto to Zwart).
