Jan Heestershuis: art between house and garden

Museum Jan Heestershuis in Schijndel links the artist’s former home with a modern extension and a sculpture garden. The permanent display Het Verhaal van Jan (The Story of Jan) provides a personal starting point.

Plan your visit ↗

An artist at home

See how the house presents life and work side by side. What information about Jan Heesters helps you look at a work differently? First take time for the introduction, then choose a detail that makes you curious about his way of working.

Room for other art

The extension hosts changing exhibitions. This means a visit to the permanent display can be combined with a new subject. Check which exhibition is currently on and compare how the works are shown in the different spaces.

Looking for colour with the family

The family trail Kraak de kleurcode (Crack the Colour Code) gives children their own looking task. Ask how to get started and alternate searching with looking together. Outside winter, the sculpture garden can also be part of the trail; the current opening determines what is possible.

Before you go

Check the current exhibition programme and the garden opening; an earlier sculpture garden exhibition may no longer be on.
