Fonda Café & Historische omloop

With the Fonda Café and the historical walkway, you choose to host your event in one of the most iconic places that the Stedelijk has to offer. Many feet have already walked the historic stairs from 1895; the place where the artist duo Gilbert & George was born and where visitors slid down via Alicia Framis's giant slide in the 90s.

The space is known for its famous daylight that naturally pours in through the glass roof. This creates a very spacious feeling. In the evening, the lighting can be adjusted to create the atmosphere you desire. You can welcome your guests with a drink and a snack on the staircase walkway. The walkway already offers them various exciting glimpses of the current exhibitions, including those in the Honor Hall. The adjacent Fonda Café has everything you need for a tasteful dinner, visually enhanced by the stripe paintings of Daniel Buren and the installation by Lawrence Weiner that permanently adorn the wall here.
