The Kroller Muller Museum

Posted by lizwander 9 January 2011

An hour’s train ride east of Amsterdam lies the city of Arnhem. The Kroller Muller Museum is a modern art gallery set within the vast 13,590 acre National Park of Hoge Veluwe, where culture and nature come together. The gallery holds an impressive collection including work by Van Gogh, Renoir, Seurat, Picasso and others, and more contemporary work. The surrounding sculpture gardens take up 61 acres, the largest such garden in Europe and display a magnificent collection of sculptures featuring Rodin, Serra, Hepworth, Dubuffet, Oldenburg, and many more set into this natural setting. You can explore the sprawling park on the free white bicycles, via the 26 miles of bicycle paths

Sand dunes in the middle of Holland

Posted by ssss 7 November 2007

The Hoge Veluwe national park is a few miles north of Arnhem. As you cycle through the dense forest and heath land you suddenly emerge in what - surreally - appears to be a desert. Sand dunes stretch out into the distance as you follow one of the well-signposted cycle routes.

Heading back into the woodland you reach the centre of the park: the Kroller-Muller Museum - one of the largest galleries in the Netherlands and home to significant works by Van Gogh, Seurat, Picasso and Mondriaan.

Don't bother hiring a bike - the park provides thousands of free cycles, which can be picked up from designated areas.
