There are so many things to do on the Veluwe. And what you absolutely must see on the Veluwe is the Kröller-Müller Museum. The museum is located in the middle of natural beauty. A perfect canvas for modern and contemporary art. Some 160 sculptures, a significant part of the collection, are on display outdoors, so you can enjoy a combination of art and nature.

If you are wondering what to do on the Veluwe, we recommend you combine your museum visit with a tour of De Hoge Veluwe National Park. Furthermore, children's activities are organized on the Veluwe throughout the year. Such as an exciting safari by safari train, where you go in search of animals together with the guide. Or test your hand and eye coordination with a round of archery or raft building. This is just a small selection from the wide range of activities on offer on the Veluwe. 

After wandering around one of Europe's largest sculpture gardens, view the world's second-largest Van Gogh collection in the museum rooms. Masterpieces by other great masters can also be admired at the Kröller-Müller Museum, including works by Mondrian and Picasso. You can view the works on your own, in a guided tour or with an audio tour. Viewing art is thus enriched with knowledge about the world behind the artwork and the artist. In addition to the permanent collection, the museum also presents short-term exhibitions. The work of prominent contemporary artists makes a lasting impression.
