The programme first

The current exhibition determines which works you can see. Take that information as the starting point for your day, especially if you are coming for an artist or a theme. A general description of the museum is no guarantee that a particular work is present.

A building in green surroundings

The museum is described as a long, narrow building in Museumpark Landgoed Oranjewoud, with the Prinsenwijk canal beneath the building. These surroundings can receive attention alongside the art. Notice how the route and the windows make your gaze alternate between inside and outside.

Calm between the galleries

An art visit does not have to begin with recognising movements. Compare colour, material or size and then read the explanation. A glance at the surroundings in between can help you look at the next work with fresh attention.

Before you go

Check for occasional closures, including announced closing days at the end of September 2026. Parking close by can be arranged for people with limited mobility.
