  • In the middle of a national park

    The museum is located in the heart of De Hoge Veluwe National Park. The moment you enter the national park, life takes on a different pace. Take time for nature and hop on a free White Bicycle or take a walk. Getting away from all the stress will then create space in your head to enjoy the art at the museum even more.

    A visit to the museum and park requires more time than you might expect. For the museum and sculpture garden, you will need at least 3 hours. Want to relax in between? Enjoy the peace in the sculpture garden or join one of the activities in De Hoge Veluwe National Park. Bring your picnic blanket for a break and lunch in between activities. This will make your visit a complete day out!
