Kröller-Müller Museum

Helene Kröller-Müller

The museum is the life’s work of Helene Kröller-Müller. Between 1907 and 1922, she purchased nearly 11,500 works of art. Her private collection is therefore one of the largest from the 20th century. This collection isn’t just one of the best in the world, it also tells the fascinating story behind Helene Kröller-Müller’s dream.

Art, nature and architecture

The mixture of art, nature and architecture is the result of Helene’s ideas. Her ideal was to create a museum exhibiting the best international art in the middle of a beautiful natural area. Successive curators have made this dream a reality in their own unique ways and made sure the museum keeps in step with the times. The Kröller-Müller Museum is an exceptional museum on an international scale, and the only one of its kind in the Netherlands. To this day, it serves as an inspiration to many.

Collection

The Kröller-Müller Museum is in possession of the second largest collection of Van Gogh works in the world, consisting of nearly 90 paintings and over 180 drawings. The collection also includes masterpieces by modernist masters such as Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Pablo Picasso, and Piet Mondrian. The museum is surrounded by 25 hectares of extensive grounds. Laid out around the gardens are more than 160 sculptures by iconic artists ranging from Aristide Maillol and Jean Dubuffet to Marta Pan and Richard Serra.

The museum is located in the heart of De Hoge Veluwe National Park, an ideal setting for cycling and hiking. It is also near the cities of Arnhem and Apeldoorn. The perfect location for a weekend getaway!
