Museum Arnhem

About

Museum Arnhem is one of the Netherlands’ most beautifully situated art museums, perched on a high moraine overlooking the Rhine and surrounded by a sculpture garden. Founded in 1873, it has grown into a leading institution for modern and contemporary art, with notable strengths in magic realism, neorealism, applied arts, and jewellery. After an extensive renovation, the museum now combines its historic architecture with a striking modern extension that opens the building to light, landscape, and spacious new galleries. Inside, visitors encounter a dynamic mix of permanent works and changing exhibitions that explore social themes, regional identity, and global artistic perspectives. The free‑to‑enter garden offers a peaceful outdoor experience, blending art and nature with sweeping river views. Museum Arnhem stands today as a vibrant cultural landmark where history, creativity, and landscape come together in a uniquely inspiring setting.
