Outdoor contemporary art galleries

What is so special about the Kröller-Müller? The fact that you can also enjoy art outdoors! This is because the museum has a sculpture garden. And not just any sculpture garden, but one of the largest in Europe! The sculpture garden covers no less than 25 hectares and is filled with works by modern and contemporary artists. For example, Jan Fabre's series Chapters is a very special recent addition to the sculpture garden. And for Dutch contemporary art, how about Joep van Lieshout’s Mobile Home?
