Van Abbemuseum

The Van Abbemuseum a  museum for modern and contemporary art in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The museum’s collection includes key works and archives by Marc Chagall, Marlene Dumas, El Lissitzky and Pablo Picasso. But the museum is more than a treasure chest. It is a lab with an experimental approach towards art’s role in society. Openness, inclusion and knowledge exchange are important to us. 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.
