Bonnefanten: old art and new perspectives

Bonnefanten in Maastricht combines old art with modern and contemporary displays. Aldo Rossi’s building on Avenue Céramique provides a distinctive setting, with different routes through the galleries.

Different collecting areas

Medieval sculpture, Italian painting and Maastricht silver are mentioned as part of the collection. The current display determines which works are on view; a collecting area is not a fixed list for every visit.

A different way of looking

Contemporary art can raise different questions than an old sculpture. Read the explanation for both and see how material, subject and presentation each play their own role.

Taking in the building

The staircase and dome are striking features of the architecture. Notice the transitions between galleries too, without having to follow a separate architecture route.

Before you go

Check temporary gallery closures and public holiday hours. Request a loan wheelchair in advance and discuss which parts of the route can be reached with your mobility aid.
