Peak season vs low season

Peak season: Peak season runs from April through August, during Amsterdam’s spring and summer tourism. Expect higher footfall, especially during school holidays and major events at NDSM Wharf. Special exhibitions or live painting events can also draw extra visitors.
Low season: The shoulder months—March, September, and October—offer pleasant weather and lighter crowds for a more peaceful visit. Winter (November to February) is the quietest period, though the warehouse can feel chilly, so dress warmly.

How long should I spend at STRAAT Museum?

Colorful street art exhibits inside Straat Museum, Amsterdam.

Plan to spend about 1.5–2 hours exploring STRAAT Museum. This is enough time to walk through the vast industrial hall inside the former shipyard warehouse, where monumental street art murals by international artists are displayed.

For a more relaxed visit, allow around 2–3 hours. This gives time to read the artwork descriptions, learn about the artists and stories behind the murals, and explore the mezzanine gallery, which often hosts rotating exhibitions and offers a different perspective of the artworks below.

Extra time can also be spent visiting the STRAAT Gallery and project spaces inside the museum, browsing the museum shop, or taking a short break at the café overlooking the exhibition area.
