Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar is one of Holland’s oldest museums, housed in one of Alkmaar’s newest buildings. It is recently modernised: With a fresh, attractive front, entrance and shop, a spacious Museum Café and two innovative museum presentations: Victory! The Siege of Alkmaar in 1573, Alkmaar’s Golden Age and Portrait of Alkmaar.

It is an inspirational place to meet, with an array of galleries offering visitors a wide range of art and historical presentations, fascinating exhibitions and a busy programme of activities. Alkmaar's civic museum is above all about experiencing and discovering the art and history of the city and the people who lived here.
