Chemistry is ... The Bathtub
Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art
Modern expressions of art have been on display since 1895 in Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art. Now the storied museum boasts a stunning new entrance and exhibition space that stands as a piece of modern art in its own right.
“The Bathtub,” as locals call the addition, stands in stark contrast to the straight lines and decorative neo-Renaissance style of the original 19th century building to which it is linked. Massive aramid/carbon composite sandwich panels provided by Teijin Aramid and Toho Tenax, respectively, make the museum the largest composite-clad building in the world.
