The largest private museum in the Netherlands, housing the illustrious art collections of industrialist Joop van Caldenborgh in The Hague
The Voorlinden Museum, the largest private museum in the Netherlands, houses the prestigious modern art collections of Joop van Caldenborgh, an industrialist and passionate collector from an early age. This unique venue, specially designed to showcase art, stands out for the authenticity of its approach. Set in a 40-hectare park, the building blends seamlessly into the surrounding natural environment, thanks to the use of sustainable materials and a design that emphasizes natural light.
The 4,000 m² permanent collection features works by renowned artists such as Ai Weiwei, Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Piet Mondrian and Richard Serra. Leandro Erlich's Swimming Pool, for example, is a must-see, attracting many visitors thanks to its popularity on social networks. The gardens, designed by Piet Oudolf, the renowned landscape architect also responsible for New York's famous High Line and Battery Park gardens, add an exceptional dimension to the visit. The museum also organizes much-anticipated temporary exhibitions.
And don't miss the charming restaurant in the estate's former home, which extends the artistic experience in a warm and welcoming setting. The library, open by appointment, is also well worth a visit. The only drawback: access by bus is limited, but this in no way detracts from the splendor of this veritable haven of peace.
