Kröller-Müller Museum

Kröller-Müller Museum

The Kröller-Müller Museum is an art museum, near the village of Otterlo in the Netherlands. The museum has a considerable collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh (such as "Cafe Terrace at Night"), making it the second-largest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world (after the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam). Apart from the Van Gogh paintings other highlights include works by Piet Mondrian, Bart van der Leck, Georges Seurat, Odilon Redon, and Pablo Picasso.The museum is named after Helene Kröller-Müller, an avid art collector who was one of the first to recognize Van Gogh's genius and collect his works. In 1935 she donated her whole collection to the state of the Netherlands. In 1938 the museum, designed by Henry van de Velde opened. The sculpture garden was added in 1961 and the new exhibition wing, designed by Wim Quist, opened in 1977.

Sculpture Park

The Kröller-Müller Museum is also famous for its large sculpture garden annex park forest, with its more than 75 acres one of the largest in Europe, with a fine collection of modern and contemporary sculptures. The garden also reflects Helene Kröller-Müller's conception of a symbiosis between art, architecture and nature. The collection includes works by Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Jean Dubuffet, Mark di Suvero, Lucio Fontana, Claes Oldenburg, Fritz Wotruba, Joep van Lieshout and many more.
