Looking closely indoors

The paintings call for a different pace than a walk outside. Choose a few works to spend longer with and read the accompanying information. Check the exhibition programme if you are coming for a specific selection from the collection.

Looking further outdoors

In the sculpture garden, the setting around an artwork changes as you walk around it. Deliberately give this part of the museum some time. Light, distance and the viewpoint you choose can determine which shape you notice first.

Park access too

The museum lies within Hoge Veluwe National Park. For a museum visit you therefore also need to take park access into account, and the route from a park entrance. Check the combination of tickets and any card discounts before you book.
