The new Studiio

The Van Abbemuseum's new approach has led to a major expansion in visitor activities. For instance over the past five years, the number of schoolchildren and students visiting the museum and taking part in museum classes has tripled. And as the museum has expanded its network in Eindhoven, it has managed to set up projects for neighbourhoods, schools, and youth groups, as well as workshops for businesspeople. Events like these are hosted in its new project area, the Studio, an open space where visitors are welcome to come and draw inspiration from a full programme of activities.
