cerca de arnhem, uno de los museos mejores que he visto nunca.
Un Parque Nacional espectacular alberga esta colección donada de pintura y escultura absolutamente unica , con la mayor cantida de Van Gogh junta en una colección privada (me quedé de piedra) y joyas de TODOS los maestros.
y con un jardín de esculturas indescriptible, el mejor del mundo junto al Storm King Center en USA (11870.com/pro/56155)
Lo mejor es dejar el coche a la entrada, alquilar una de las miles de bicis que recorren el parque nacional y pasar todo el día allí, donde además del museo hay joyas de la arquietctura como el pabellón de caza del gran arquitecto Berlage, autor también del edificio primero en el museo.
Pocos sitios hay así en el mundo.
The Kröller-Müller Museum is named after Helene Kröller-Müller (1869-1939). Helene Kröller-Müller collected almost 11,500 art objects with the help of her advisor, H.P. Bremmer. The purchases were paid for from the capital accumulated by her husband Anton Kröller as director of Wm. H. Müller & Co.
Helene Kröller dreamt of a ‘museum-home’, a dream that came true in 1938 when the Rijksmuseum Kröller-Müller opened its doors. Helene Kröller-Müller was its first director.
After her death in 1939 the museum building underwent a few expansions with the addition of a congress wing and sculpture gallery in 1953 and a whole new wing between 1970 and 1977. This wing served as a suitable accommodation for the growing collection of modern sculpture. The museum’s sculpture garden has increased in size over the years and is now one of the largest in Europe.
Helene Kröller-Müller began collecting art in around 1905. The idea arose when she and her daughter enrolled in a course in art appreciation that was taught by H.P. Bremmer, an educator in the arts. Inspired by his lessons, she began collecting art herself. In 1907 she made her first purchase: ‘Train in Landscape’, by Paul Gabriel.
By this time Bremmer was visiting her at home every week and even began serving as her personal advisor. In the company of the couple, but also frequently at their orders, he visited national and international auction houses, studios and art dealers, searching for work that suited the collection.
Helene Kröller-Müller’s collection grew rapidly. After a few years she was the owner of the largest private Van Gogh collection in the world (not counting that of the Van Gogh family itself). During her lifetime, Helene Kröller-Müller purchased approximately 11,500 art objects.
Besides H.P. Bremmer, the architect Henry van de Velde also served as an advisor to the Kröllers. It was he who alerted Helene Kröller-Müller of the opportunity to buy the work ‘Le Chahut’ by Georges Seurat in 1922. It was her last major purchase.
Wm. H. Müller & Co., the Kröller’s firm, was hard hit by the economic recession. The situation became so dire that both the country estate on the Hoge Veluwe and the art collection were threatened. To keep the collection together, Helene Kröller-Müller presented it to the Dutch state in 1935 on the condition that an appropriate museum be built to house it.
Muy buena la experiencia en el museo. Sólo el paseo (20 km ida y vuelta) en bici a través del parque nacional hasta llegar al museo ya merece la pena. Parece un paseo largo, pero la mayoría del trayecto es llano y apto para todo el mundo.
