Lovely museum! If you’re interested to learn a hit more about Alkmaar’s history, hit “De Victorie” gallery first - fun and interactive history of one of the founding moments of Alkmaar. Upstairs you can find the “Alkmaar Prachtstad” gallery, which features various important moments from the city’s past and present including a cool graphic design and fun movies and interactives. Art history more your thing? “Alkmaar and the Golden Age” is a gallery with some gorgeous 17th century paintings, and there’s also modern/contemporary art from the Bergen School of painting. The café has original and very tasty food, the shop is mainly books.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum, nice collections, nice staff. Only downside: the one-way route does not work if you are disabled and need to use the lift. So then back to the hall against the direction. (Original) Mooi museum, mooie collecties, aardig personeel. Enig minpuntje: de eenrichtingsverkeer route werkt niet als je mindervalide bent en van de lift gebruik moet maken. Dus dan toch tegen de richting in terug naar de hal.

Nice display of the siege of Alkmaar. Relatively pricey for what is on display.

Amazing experience. A little too much about the spanish war!

Small but beautiful museum with some very intetesting old pieces telling their story about the city of Alkmaar. Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar is a city museum located in the center of Alkmaar on the Canadaplein. The museum is devoted to presenting and preserving the cultural history of Alkmaar and the surrounding region.

(Translated by Google) Separately classified museum. From the outside it looks like a restaurant. First entered zigzag along many dishes with cloths and sponges and disinfectant. Then one counter with ticket sales and a lengthy explanation of how the route can be walked across the halls at different levels. Not enough lockers for the many bags. Informative about the siege of Alkmaar by the Spaniards with many stories and explanations. Even the heroes described in later stories have been refuted with research. Beautiful artwork and utensils. Sufficiently legible explanation of the display cases. Walking route not entirely clear. Nice temporary exhibition. Bergse painters. Beautiful archery guilds captured with one in original wooden frame with weapons. Worth a visit. (Original) Apart ingedeeld museum. Aan de buitenkant lijkt het een restaurant. Binnengekomen eerst zigzag langs vele schaaltjes met doekjes en sponzen en ontsmettingsmiddel. Dan één loket met kaartverkoop en langdurige uitleg hoe de route over de zalen op verschillende niveaus gelopen mag worden. Te weinig kluisjes voor de vele tassen. Informatief over het beleg van Alkmaar door de Spanjaarden met vele verhalen en uitleg. Zelfs de helden die in latere verhalen waren beschreven zijn met onderzoek weerlegt. Mooie kunstwerken en gebruiksvoorwerpen. Voldoende leesbare uitleg bij de vitrines. Looproute niet geheel duidelijk. Leuke tijdelijke tentoonstelling. Bergse schilders. Prachtige schuttersgilden vastgelegd met één in originele houten lijst met wapens. Bezoek waard.

Nice museums to learn about the history of Alkmaar and to see some local art. There are explanations available in both english and dutch.

Definitely worth a visit. And have a delicious toastie.

Beautiful building, but otherwise too little value for money, despite the announcement that part could not be viewed due to redevelopment. Unless you have a museum annual pass, if you really want to go, it is advisable to only go when renovations are completed. It's a bit sad that you now pay the full price while the most important part turns out not to be visible and that it has not been considered to apply a reduction on the entrance fee. In addition, 16 euros per person is really too much for something you can get in half an hour. you have seen everything that is accessible. For that amount you can spend a day wandering around the Louvre. It is therefore disproportionate.

Musume has good measurement of COVID-19. The staff is friendly. It’s worth for EUR 12 to visit the museum and it’s very interesting to see the past of 15-16 centuries how Alkmaar fought with Spanish and got rich because of the trading. Worth to visit ;)

The museum is right in the old town. On the one hand, we visited the exhibition about Rudi van de Witt and, on the other hand, the exhibition "Charley Toorop and Edgar Fernhout", two artists from the Bergen School. Both exhibitions were presented first-class. The exhibition rooms in a postmodern style are sure to please. There is a nice cafe with a good menu. Admission for adults (September 2022) €13.50.

We enjoyed the visit, both the special exhibition and the permanent selection on the history of Alkmaar and surroundings. Nice cafe with tasty cappuccino and a small but interesting gift shop

well worth a visit

Centrally located in the bustling heart of Alkmaar, next to the theatre on one side, and the main church on the other, sharing a building with the library. The Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar provides a nice overview of both the history of the area, and artworks produced by inhabitants of the nearby art colony of Bergen aan Zee.

Great museum experience! Was definitely happy to visit and learn more about De Bergense School. Clean, neat and well marked. Would come back here again!

For the price of admission it is an amazing museum.

A very complete collection for such a small museum! Worth coming back every time there is a new exhibition. The permanent and interactive exhibit about the Siege of Alkmaar is super interesting!

Nice museum overall, and the Bergense School expo was particularly interesting. Not too big of a museum, which I find quite nice. This helps you focus on what you're seeing instead of focusing on 'seeing it all in one go'.

History of Alkmaar in the basement was closed for redevelopment. Small exhibition about the large stained glass window in the Grote Sint Laurenskerk, a pity that the church is closed more than open, so you cannot admire the real window. Otherwise not too interesting, especially considering the price of €16.00 if you don't have a museum card.

Very nice and interactive museum. You get a good understanding of the situation during the war period with the Spanish empire. How it started and how the people felt during that period.

Comprehensive exhibition of the 'Bergen School' - you won't find it in Bergen itself. Impressive images by Gerrit van Blaaderen, Matthieu Wiegmann, Leo Gestel, Joop Weijand, Paul Cézanne, Dirk Filarski, Charley Toroop and contemporaries. Texts in Dutch and English (as usual), some of which you can listen to German explanations on your cell phone using the museum app. Unfortunately, the introductory film is only in Dutch.

It was a good museum, it had some interesting paintings of Van Gogh as well. And the description on the paintings was also good

Half of the museum was closed but I had to pay the full price. Everything else looks neat.

Nice temporary exhibition on Bergense school. First trip after corona lockdown was lifted

(Translated by Google) Exhibition was disappointing (Original) Expositie viel tegen

(Translated by Google) Explored under the guidance of guide museum. Beautiful exhibition about the Bergschenhoek School. Fine guide turned out to be an art historian. Worth repeating. (Original) Onder leiding van gids museum verkend. Mooie tentoonstelling over de Bergschenhoek School. Prima gids bleek kunsthistorica te zijn. Voor herhaling vatbaar.

Beautiful temporary exhibition with grand scale works of nature by Everdingen The permanent exhibitions are also interesting and include several well know Dutch artists

(Translated by Google) Good exhibition about Alkmaar resistance and Bergse school. Awkward in terms of walking route. (Original) Goede tentoonstelling over Alkmaar verzet en Bergse school. Wel onhandig qua looproute.

Really much better than I was expecting! Well worth a visit if your in Alkmaar

What an amazing museum! Three in one; a permanent exhibition of excellent quality, by painters of the 'Bergense School'. Another permanent but more historically themed exhibition of the victory of Alkmaar city over the Spanish invasion in 1573, a turning point in Dutch history and for me a revelation, somehow explaining the calm Stoic, quietly determined nature of the inhabitants of Noord-Holland. And then a temporary exhibition, nicely curated, with some more interesting paintings. I had a lovely afternoon and will be back! Highly recommended!

The basement exhibit of the Spanish siege of Alkmaar is wonderful. I especially enjoyed the actors recreating some of the participants. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed the downstairs exhibit on the history of Alkmaar - thank you!

Nice museum, the exhibition mainly about art and history of Alkmaar itself

Suddenly good museum. Especially the part about Alkmaar history.

Interesting history of Alkmaar from plantions to the Spanish war

I really enjoyed the Bergen School collection. The rest was less impressive than the Amsterdam Stedelijk but definitely a must-see in Alkmaar

A very nice provincial museum with two main subjects/accents: history en the 'Bergse school' style of modern painting, about 1910-1930. An extensive exhibition about the siege of Alkmaar, 1573, with eye witness accounts and many objects from that era, the birth of the Dutch nation.

Really beautiful museum, not expensive, lots of things to see. We really enjoyed our time here.

We visited the temporary exhibition from painters of the Bergen School and it was very nice. The cafe is also great.

(Translated by Google) Exhibitions always very well organized, nice but limited collection of our own. (Original) Tentoonstelingen altijd erg goed verzorgd, leuke maar beperkte eigen collectie.

Mooi ingericht museum, maar op sommige plekken geen duidelijke wegwijzer hoe je moet lopen. Je leert veel over de stad Alkmaar.

(Translated by Google) Well taken care of (Original) Prima verzorgd

(Translated by Google) What a surprisingly beautiful museum, beautiful building, beautiful collection, special temporary collection. (Original) Wat een verrassend mooi museum, mooi gebouw, mooie collectie, bijzondere tijdelijke collectie.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum with something to do for all ages. (Original) Mooi museum met voor alle leeftijden wel wat te doen.

(Translated by Google) Nice local museum with four parts. One by one temporary exhibitions, a collection of paintings from the Bergsche school. An exhibition with the history of Alkmaar and the golden age. And the last part, in my opinion the most fun, the history of the siege of Alkmaar. Especially the interactive part at the siege of Alkmaar is very nice. There are limitations due to corona. But the signage is good and very positive and creative. (Original) Leuk lokaal museum met vier onderdelen. Een voor een wisselexposities, een collectie met schilderijen van de Bergsche school. Een expositie met de geschiedenis van Alkmaar en de gouden eeuw. En het laatste onderdeel, wat mij betreft het leukst, de geschiedenis van her beleg van Alkmaar. Zeker het interactieve deel bij het beleg van Alkmaar is erg leuk. Vanwege corona zijn er beperkingen. Maar de bewegwijzering is goed en erg positief en creatief.

Alkmaar is one of the most beautiful cities in The Netherlands and if you visit Alkmaar you must visit this place

Really interesting museum. Found out a lot about Alkmaar with multi language signage. Lots of rooms to look into on different floors. There is also a display on farming (cattle) which seems out of placed but isn't and is quite thought provoking.

Good overview of the cities interesting history. Exhibition is not too extensive. Good ratio to the cities size. I spent abour 2 hours there. Enough parking areas in the neighborhood at abour 4 Euro's a day. Dead city center with lots of nice restaurants on walking ditance. Visit the Beatles museum that is at about a 15 minutes walk.

Great little museum, deserves a couple of hours of your time. Even if the audio guide is not in English for the special exhibits, there's enough information in English for that not to be a big issue. Cafe and shop are worth visiting too.

Nice museum with the history of Alkmaar.

Excelent.Very nice building.

(Translated by Google) Nice to see the history of your own city (Original) Leuk om de geschiedenis van je eigen stad te zien

(Translated by Google) Today day in Alkmaar. Have something to eat in the museum. Unfortunately mediocre experience, not crowded but long (35 ’) waiting for grilled cheese special with thin slice of salami. The price was wrong, prices on the menu had not yet been adjusted! But the exhibition was very beautiful and made up for it! (Original) Vandaag dagje Alkmaar. Even wat eten in het museum. Helaas matige ervaring, niet druk maar wel lang (35’) wachten op tosti speciaal met dun plakje salami. De prijs klopte niet, prijzen op de kaart waren nog niet aangepast! Maar de tentoonstelling was erg mooi en maakte alles goed!

(Translated by Google) I find the entrance fee at 12 € much too expensive for what you get. Historically, it is all about the war with the Spaniards and then there's an image issue. Had hoped to learn more about the history alkmaar. But didn't really take anything with me. (Original) Den Eintritt finde ich mit 12€ viel zu teuer, für das was man geboten bekommt. Geschichtlich dreht es sich nur um den Krieg mit den Spaniern und dann gibt es noch eine bilder Ausstellung. Hatte gehofft, mehr über die Geschichte alkmaars erfahren zu können. Habe aber nichts wirklich mitgenommen.

(Translated by Google) Battle of Alkmaar 1573 very interesting. Also artists from the Bergse School. (Original) Slag om Alkmaar 1573 zeer interessant. Verder kunstenaars van de Bergse School.

(Translated by Google) Both the permanent collection and the temporary exhibition are very worthwhile. And a nice way of compelling order. (Original) Zowel de vaste collectie als de tijdelijke tentoonstelling zijn zeer de moeite waard. En een leuke wijze van dwingende volgorde.

(Original) Klein museum met aardig overzicht van Bergense school en nu mooie tentoonstelling van deel van oude verzameling Unilever topman Paul Rijkens.

Part of the museum was closed while the site stated from February 29, but there was little left, so too bad.
