27 Aug 2010 - The Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum has temporarily reopened with an exhibition appropriately titled "The Temporary Stedelijk". The Museum was closed for renovation since 2004, and the Amsterdam art-loving crowd became increasingly disgruntled about the time-consuming renovation works. It is said that the city council forced the Stedelijk to reopen its doors. In fact, the exhibition covers two smaller exhibitions: "Taking Place" with modern Dutch masters and the exhibition with 19th century artists called "Monumentalism". The renovation is not finished and it is not yet clear how long the process will last. But the population of Amsterdam and thousands of tourists will have the opportunity to have a first look at the "new" Stedelijk until 9th January 2011.
