Traveler reviews
AJay Sadh
★★★★★3 months agoVisited Museum Cobra and explored the Andy Warhol: The Textiles exhibition—honestly, a delightful surprise. Seeing Warhol’s iconic prints transform into wearable art felt like watching paintings step off the wall and start living. The playful ice-cream motifs, bold dots, and vibrant insect patterns brought a fun, almost childlike energy to the space. The exhibition is well-curated, easy to walk through, and visually engaging without feeling overwhelming. If you enjoy art with a twist of fashion and storytelling, this one quietly steals your attention… and maybe your heart too ❤️✨

★★★★★4 years agoI love this museum! It's often overlooked as it is not situated in Amsterdam. Amstelveen is a short distance from Amsterdam and is easily reached by public transport. This museum of modern art is highly recommended and there is always an exciting and carefully curated exhibitions in addition to the permanent ones. Go and visit...you won't regret it. The location in the city centre (Stadshart) is full with shops, theatre, restaurants and cafés.
