Modern art in a post office

Museum van Bommel van Dam shows modern and contemporary art in Venlo’s former post office. Collection displays and temporary exhibitions share the building with parts that are free to enter.

Collecting art as a choice

The collection began with Maarten and Reina van Bommel-van Dam. In the collection display, look for recurring materials, artists or subjects, and ask which later acquisitions broaden the picture.

Across disciplines

Painting, drawings, sculpture and photography each call for a different pace of looking. Compare two works on composition or subject without taking their medium as the obvious starting point.

The golden envelope façade

With its new façade, the former post office refers to communication. Inside, see how old parts of the building and the museum route connect with that public exterior.

Before you go

Open Tuesday to Sunday 11.00–17.00; closed Monday. Opening times differ on public holidays. Check which galleries require a ticket and which parts remain free to enter.
