STRAAT is a unique wheelchair-friendly museum in Amsterdam dedicated to street art and graffiti. Located inside a former NDSM shipyard building, STRAAT’s 8000 m2 indoor space displays 150+ works of 130+ international street artists. The museum includes works by renowned artists, while also providing a platform for new artists to showcase their talent. A stroll through STRAAT emphasises just how colourful, diverse, and impressive street art can be.

In 2021, STRAAT earned the publicly-voted Best Museum of The Netherlands award. For information about exhibitions and ticket prices, visit the STRAAT website.
