WELCOME TO THE VAN ABBEMUSEUM
The Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven is one of the first public museums for contemporary art to be established in Europe. The museum’s collection of around 2700 works of art includes key works and archives by Lissitzky, Picasso, Kokoschka, Chagall, Beuys, McCarthy, Daniëls and Körmeling. The museum has an experimental approach towards art’s role in society. Openness, hospitality and knowledge exchange are important.
We challenge ourselves and our visitors to think about art and its place in the world, covering a range of subjects, including the role of the collection as a cultural 'memory' and the museum as a public site. International collaboration and exchange have made the Van Abbemuseum a place for creative cross-fertilisation and a source of surprise, inspiration and imagination for its visitors and participants.
Every first Thursday evening of the month: free entrance!
Every first Thursday of the month, the Van Abbemuseum is open until 21:00, admission to the museum is free from 17:00 on those nights. Also the museum cafe is open until 21:00.
Top performers are made not born
made (music art design experiences) has been created for talented professionals who occupy key positions in companies and institutions in and around Eindhoven. The members of made come together six times per annum in a context of art, music and design. They form a varied network, a community of inspiration and talent.
