The Van Abbe under construction
What can you see and when?
The Van Abbemuseum will undergo a major transformation in 2026! The museum turns 90, and we’re celebrating with a new collection presentation, Collection as Cosmos, as well as a completely renewed Van Abbe café and ticketing area. Because of this, we will be renovating between 23 March and 5 June 2026. In the autumn, we will also redesign the outdoor area to create a green space where nature and culture come together.
What can you see and when?
➔ 23 March – 26 April 2026
You can visit the ground floor of Delinking and Relinking, as well as the exhibitions Make Some Noise: Desire. Stage. Change. in the Old Building, Hidden Connections, making food out of sunlight, the Studio (Museum as Parliament), and the Van Abbe café.
➔ 27 April – 1 May 2026
The entire museum is closed.
➔ 2 May – 5 June 2026
Only the exhibition Make Some Noise: Desire. Stage. Change. in the Old Building is open. The Van Abbe café is closed and temporary toilets are available. For this reason, the museum is free to visit during this period. You can enter via the old main entrance on Bilderdijklaan 10.
The exhibition Radically Mine! opens on 16 April at Salon Veneman (Tongelresestraat 1, Eindhoven) and will later travel to Eindhoven City Hall.
