STRAAT Museum

The STRAAT Museum is one of the largest museums in the world dedicated exclusively to street art and graffiti.

It is located in the creative NDSM Wharf district in Amsterdam-Noord, inside a massive former shipbuilding warehouse.

Opened in 2020, STRAAT presents large-scale murals and installations created on-site by international street artists.

Unlike traditional museums, it focuses on works that preserve the energy, scale, and raw impact of urban art.

The collection includes artists from around the globe, reflecting diverse styles and cultural perspectives.

Each artwork is accompanied by context about the artist’s background and the social or political themes behind the piece.

By bringing street art into an institutional space without stripping it of its character, STRAAT positions itself at the intersection of urban culture, contemporary art, and social commentary.
