STRAAT Museum redefines the gallery experience inside a spacious warehouse at Amsterdam’s NDSM wharf, reachable via a free ferry from Centraal Station. Inside, over 180 monumental works by 170 global artists (including Eduardo Kobra’s towering Anne Frank mural) were created on-site, preserving the spontaneity of outdoor graffiti. The raw, industrial space lets you watch artists at work during rotating exhibitions. Unlike traditional museums, STRAAT embraces street art’s rebellious roots: massive stencils by Banksy-esque provocateurs share space with hidden tags. The café serves gluten-free treats, and the gift store stocks affordable prints. Post-visit, explore NDSM’s open-air murals that blur the line between museum and street art.

Now the city's main cathedral, it was built among a bit of controversy in the mid-20th century, as it replaced the original city church on Parque Vidal. It is home to a white statue of the Virgin Mary which was mysteriously lost for several decades, only to be found in a ditch and finally returned.
