About the museum

The story of the Kröller-Müller Museum

The Kröller-Müller Museum was founded by Helene Kröller-Müller, one of the first great collectors of Van Gogh, and opened in 1938. It sits in the middle of the Hoge Veluwe National Park in the Netherlands.

It holds the second-largest Van Gogh collection in the world, alongside works by Seurat, Mondrian and Picasso, and one of Europe's largest sculpture gardens.

The collection

Helene Kröller-Müller bought nearly 300 works by Van Gogh between 1908 and 1929, when he was still little known. The museum shows about ninety of his paintings and more than 180 drawings, from Dutch peasant studies to Café Terrace at Night.

It also holds key works of early modern art by Seurat, Signac, Mondrian, Picasso and Juan Gris, and its sculpture garden, one of the largest in Europe, shows Rodin, Henry Moore, Jean Dubuffet and Marta Pan.

At ArtLogia you can order 94 of its paintings as hand-painted reproductions, by 7 artists led by Vincent van Gogh, Georges Seurat and Piet Mondrian.
