    steep entry price for tiny collection. also very very crowded, on a weekday because apparently this museum is also a geriatric meeting place. not really worth your time. in stead just walk around the town of laren.

    (Translated by Google) The audio tour did not work on my phone. Very puzzling and no one from the museum can advise, too bad! (Original) De audiotour werkte niet op mijn telefoon. Heel raadselachtig en niemand van het museum die kan adviseren, jammer!

    (Translated by Google) The Singer Laren Museum is a museum and concert hall in the heart of Laren, the Netherlands. The museum is dedicated to exhibiting and preserving the collections of American artist William Henry Singer and his wife Anna. There are many Impressionist works. Van Gogh's masterpiece "Spring Nuneen's Cleric Garden" was stolen in July 2020. (Original) シンガーラーレン美術館は、オランダのラーレンの中心部にある美術館とコンサートホールです。美術館はアメリカ人アーティストのウィリアム・ヘンリー・シンガーとその妻アンナのコレクションを展示および保存することに専念しています。印象派の作品が沢山あります。ゴッホの大作「春のヌネエンの牧師館の庭」が2020年7月に盗まれてしまいました。

    Nice museum with a.o. impressionist and modern art. Excellent cafe restaurant in a really cosy setting. Small but beautiful garden. Very friendly personell eager to assist you. Reserve your visiting time in advance. And in the museum shop, you can choose an art peace, and after paying get the reproduction sent home.

    (Translated by Google) The sculpture garden and the Painters of Light exhibition are impressive. Piet Oudolf's Singertuin also looks beautiful in autumn. The cafe completes a beautiful day. Recommended! (Original) De beeldentuin en de tentoonstelling Schilders van het licht zijn indrukwekkend. Ook de Singertuin van Piet Oudolf ziet er in herfst nog fraai uit. Het café completeert een mooie dag. Aanrader!

    Nice small scale museum. Very often interesting exhibitions on late 19th & early 20th century art with heavy focus on Dutch artists. Can be very crowded, especially when there is an event in the adjoining theatre.

    Beautiful museum and well woth the trip, actually multiple trips. The collection is impressive for a relatively small museum. I look forward to going back to the sculpture garden later this spring. The cafe is also super nice, parly in the old house and partly in the new part. I love the old section with the original, massive Dutch fireplaces.

    beautiful museum, very nice cafe

  • 5/5 Giovanna D. 7 months ago on Google • 307 reviews
    Nice collection, gathers different eras in an interesting story. All texts (and video) have also English version, which was a nice surprise. Wasn't expecting as it's not in a big turistic city. Premises are nice, organized and clean. The shop offers more variety than most museums I've been so far. For the museum is possible to enter with museumkaart. They don't have many suitable spaces to park bikes, but it was ok considering it was during the weekend.

    Nice museum in Laren. Excellent amenities like restaurant and good clean toilets. We had a nice visit and everything was well taken care off. I must admit that it is not exactly my cup off tea but it is worth the visit!

  • 5/5 Andrei P. 2 years ago on Google • 206 reviews
    Visited specifically to see Constantin Brancusi - Portrait d'une femme and was pleasantly delighted by everything about this museum, starting with the creative architectural design and concluding with a nice garden with intriguing sculpture. Great collection of Expressionism paintings. Since there aren't many transportation options for tourists near the location, locals tend to visit more frequently. Would also recommend the café and museum store, as they host many weekend activities. Great museum in Laren 🇳🇱 and would visit again.

  • 5/5 Ganora G. 6 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    Well worth a visit. Our friends took us to this exhibition. The paintings were exhibited in a excellent way. History well kept and we we visited the restaurant area afterwards in the original house of the Singer family. The gift shop was also worth visiting. They have special products reflecting the paintings that are exhibited. Great for gifts.

    Great little museum (now, not that little) with a great collection of Dutch (mainly) expressionists such as Jan Sluijter (and others) and regularly world class expositions that should not be missed.

  • 5/5 Tonia D. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Siv N. 6 years ago on Google
    Privat collection of impressionism painters made accessible for public audience. Very nice arranged presentation by theme. The building and garden (I recon special in summertime) is beautiful. Beautiful Laren is worth a visit with good high end shops and nice restaurants.

  • 5/5 Stefan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Yesterday first time to visit this cozy but impressive museum. I saw the works of some Dutch painters that were outside of my knowledge range so it was exciting to to see them. Really enjoyed the Nardinc Collection and I applaud Mrs Blokker for having donated so many beautiful art pieces to this museum. After a nice tour of the museum we relaxed in the beautiful and sunny sculpture garden. We'll worth the visit!

  • 5/5 Joost H. 3 years ago on Google

    Lovely museum but too busy! Why create time slots and then still have too many people standing in front of one painting? Restaurant was also too busy.

  • 5/5 Ruud P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice museum. Larger than you might think. We spent about 2 hours looking at everything. The restaurant looks really cosy and stylish. Staff Very polite. We mostly enjoyed the first exhibition by the painter Theo van Rysselberghe.

  • 5/5 Jasper B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful museum, both the regular collection as the frequent temporary exhibitions are excellent. Great museum of impressionism and early 1900's paintings. Must see!

  • 5/5 Hugo L. 1 year ago on Google

    Was looking up on Google to organise my group of 12 to come ,but changed our mind on reading" too many old people " we wouldn't be welcome, telling all our friends ! Good luck with your young customers

  • 5/5 Karella de J. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful old and restored building in Laren. Exhibitions are well curated and interesting. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The garden is gorgeous. Loved the art store with a good range of gifts. Lunch was served in an original part of the art gallery. A delightful experience overall.

  • 5/5 Deyanira H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed this museum, a warm welcome and excellent service at the entrance exceeded my expectations since I arrived, and then their unique exhibition about women of all ages and races, completed the experience. The museum is much larger than it would seem from the outside. A must see, when visiting the area.

  • 5/5 Remy B. 1 year ago on Google
    De Nieuwe Vrouw exhibition is fantastic and gives a fascinating overview of womens position in society and art in the Netherlands in the 20th century

  • 4/5 Neli B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful museum, in the town centre, large collection and nice flow in rooms. Also there is a galery where you can buy art. Plus a great museum shop and nice cafe. Also luncheon was of good quality. Parking is terrible. We drove around the (gorgeous) village for half an hour before we found a spot... be prepared to walk a while from your car to the museum. It is worth it!

  • 4/5 Mens G. 1 year ago on Google
    Dec 2022 a wonderful art exhibition on the role of women in C 20 snd C21st. Point deducted as parking is very limited snd it was a quiet cold December day. I would not recommend going in summer.

  • 3/5 Willem W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very mediocre. Missing masterpieces was palpable. Theme "light" has also been devised before. The first two rooms were fine, with many good painters who understand the meaning of light well. (Original) Heel matig. Gemis aan topstukken was voelbaar. Thema " licht" is ook al eerder bedacht. Eerste twee zalen waren prima met bezetting van veel goede schilders, die de betekenis van licht goed begrijpen.
