  • 5/5 Dr Win S. 2 years ago on Google • 454 reviews
    A magnificent museum that has curated 6 centuries of Dutch masterpieces. Dordrecht is not exactly a tourist city but it's only 15 minutes by train from Rotterdam, or about an hour from Amsterdam. It's a gorgeous city full of history. It's really worth a visit and this museum certainly is!

    When visiting Dordrecht make sure you don't miss a chance to visit this museum. There is also a very nice restaurant at the premises, take a look at the lunch menu (tasty set of 2 dishes plus coffee and sweets)

    (Translated by Google) Nice museum with a lot of paintings. There is even a Rembrandt. The paintings by Witsen and Albert Cuyp are also very beautiful. Tholen's paintings are a discovery for us, we did not know him. The Covid rules are well handled (Original) Mooi museum met vooral veel schilderijen. Er hangt zelfs een Rembrandt. De schilderijen van Witsen en Albert Cuyp zijn ook erg mooi. De schilderijen van Tholen zijn voor ons een ontdekking, wij kenden m niet. De Covidregels worden goed gehanteerd

    Superb building with interesting displays. Also an interactive section possibly temporary, but excellent for stretching your imagination. Plus this wonderful painting by Mauve. Good day out.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice retrospective exhibition by Willem Bastiaan Tholen. Not just landscapes and seascapes, but also interiors and portraits. Both in the form of paintings, watercolors, etchings and drawings. Tholen really dares to do anything! (Original) Erg mooie overzichtstentoonstelling van Willem Bastiaan Tholen. Niet alleen landschappen en zeegezichten, maar ook interieurs en portretten. Zowel in de vorm van schilderijen als aquarellen, etsen en tekeningen. Tholen durft écht alles aan!

    Nice museum. If you want to visit the city of Dordrecht from Rotterdam, I recommend to travel there by the Waterbus (boat).

    (Translated by Google) Despite Corona a warm welcome. There was a line in front of the museum garden, but that turned out to be a concert by Suzanne and Freek. Out of line and into the museum according to our reservation ..... Beautiful permanent collection, of which I personally find the only painting by Rembrandt really moving beautiful. The other collection is also very worthwhile, and then ...... the Tholen exhibition with the audio tour. A great compliment to the organization and compilers of the collection. Will definitely come back. (Original) Ondanks Corona een hartelijk ontvangst. Er stond een rij voor de museumtuin, maar dat bleek voor een concert van Suzanne en Freek. Uit de rij en volgens onze reservering het museum in..... Prachtige vaste collectie, waarvan ik persoonlijk het enige schilderij van Rembrandt werkelijk ontroerend mooi vind. Ook de andere collectie zeer de moeite waard, en dan...... de tentoonstelling Tholen met de audiotour. Groot compliment voor de organisatie en samenstellers van de collectie. Komen zeker een keer terug.

    I recommend the permanent collection. There is a room dedicated to Ary Schepper. There are paintings by Rembrandt and portraits of Max Liebermann and Israels. The collection spans several centuries. The space is contemporary and there is a cafe, a garden and a large auditorium. They also have a youth program called TakePart. It is a paid internship for youth between 16 and 22. The public education program allows people to learn about the special exhibits and also interact with artists. The elevator makes the spaces accessible for those using wheelchairs and walkers, as well as baby carriages. My visits were on a Friday and Saturday. I also took a summer course on those days.

    Very beautiful building, but not much to see inside. The café is lovely and it’s definitely worth a visit if you want to kill some time.

    (Translated by Google) Nice (temporary) exhibition about trees. Especially the trees in the courtyard are beautiful. But also beautiful paintings, strikingly old masters and modern ones. (Original) Leuke (tijdelijke) tentoonstelling over bomen. Vooral ook de bomen op de binnenplaats zijn al prachtig. Maar ook mooie schilderijen, opvallend oude meesters en moderne.

    (Translated by Google) It is an art museum with a very beautiful garden. The scale is also larger than expected, and there are many pictures of Dordrecht landscapes and idyllic landscapes, so the overall atmosphere is peaceful. (Original) 정원이 매우 아름다운 미술관입니다. 규모도 생각보다 크고, 도르드레흐트 풍경, 목가적인 풍경 그림이 많아 전반적으로 평화로운 분위기입니다.

    (Translated by Google) Both the permanent collection and the temporary exhibitions (now, for example, Willem Bastiaan Tholen) are well worth a look. And in these crazy times you can do so in peace! Nice location too. (Original) Zowel de vaste collectie als de tijdelijke tentoonstellingen (nu bijv. Willem Bastiaan Tholen) zijn zeer de moeite van het bekijken waard. En in deze gekke tijd kan dat in alle rust! Mooie locatie ook.

  • 3/5 Csilla C. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a very loud experience. Infants screaming the whole time, children running around and even the locals talk to each other as if they were in a pub. It was a bit of a zoo experience. I personally need some peace to enjoy a museum. The collection is beautiful though so I may return, hoping for a more pleasant time to enjoy the paintings

    Building and garden itself are amazing! The art in general is great but ordered per "theme" based on what's in the paintings; old and new next to each other. This gives it the appearance of a lack of cohesion, draining my interest more quickly than normal. All in all definitely worth it.

    Absolutely delightful. Superbly curated selection from pieces of modern art and some lovely ones back through the ages . Perfect succinct explanations of paintings and the works. Calm and shady garden for a sit after . Free lockers for your bags. Well worth a visit .

    It took me 60 years to visit the Dordrecht Museum, but today I went to see the Jan Veth exhibition. It turned out to be a beautifully curated treat with superb and touching portraits of 19th century folk, both the elite as well as farmers. I could not resist to see the rest of the collection and was blown away by the rich variety of Dutch and other master pieces. I promised myself to be back soon.

    The permanent exhibition is good, worth to spend at least one hour to see it, but definitely my favorite part was the modern art section at the end of the museum, make sure to leave enough time to not rush it.

  • 5/5 Süheyla Dilşat K. 11 months ago on Google • 122 reviews
    I really how different themes and the effect of different centuries are combined and shown in such an authentic way! You start with classical pieces and then it evolves to modern pieces, you finish it with hands on experience, I drew myself using a photo they provided, it was really fun!

  • 4/5 W H R. 5 months ago on Google • 76 reviews
    Beautiful museum with a far richer, larger, and varied permanent collection than expected. Much larger inside than the building appears from the outside. Well worth the visit!

    (Translated by Google) Cozy and fun collections. Furthermore, the well-known Corona Covid-19 virus is taken into account. It is indicated per room how many people are allowed in. A guard supervises this and speaks to people who do not follow the guidelines. Great until next time! (Original) Gezellig en leuke collecties. Verder word er goed rekening gehouden met het alom bekende Corona Covid-19 virus. Per zaal staat aangegeven hoeveel personen er in mogen. Een bewaker houd hier toezicht op en spreekt mensen, die de richtlijnen niet volgen, hier op aan. Top tot een volgende keer!

    I like the beautiful collections of the Dutch old masters. The audio guide connects the art works to the history of Dordrecht and the Netherlands . The staff there are super friendly and helpful. The restaurant and Bar look very artistic and specious.

    Beautiful art pieces. Nice place to visit with an amazing garden and restaurant. Definite must if you're in Dordrecht. Remember your museum card for free entrance.

  • 4/5 Kees W. 2 years ago on Google
    Museum with paintings from the different periodes, a beautiful Rembrandt and also lots of paintings from the 19th centurion among them a great deal from printers who lived in Dordrecht and painted parts of the city and its beautiful church.

  • 4/5 NYS C. 4 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Dordrechts is a beautiful historic city and has a fine art museum to match. In addition to a permanent collection focusing primarily on regional artists with many wonderful works well worth journeying to see, including Aelbert Cuyp's famous portrait of a duck, when we visited they had extensive special exhibitions featuring modern and contemporary works. They have a nice bookstore where we made a purchase and a lovely looking café which our schedule didn't permit us to enjoy. Speaking of food, however, we were struck that they were setting up tables and chairs with floral centerpieces for a densely seated event that was apparently to include dining in one of their most important standing exhibition galleries which included a large painting by Rembrandt on loan. In this day and age it was shocking that they would allow people to be seated so close to so many important, centuries-old canvases (who of us hasn't on occasion backed a chair into something even in our own homes?), let alone eat and drink among them.

  • 3/5 Frank W. 4 years ago on Google
    The permanent collection is nice but not something to repeat. I'm especially missing some local history in the exhibition. The second floor houses also temporary exhibitions. There have been some highlights in the past years, with the 'fish allegory' exhibition and the collection of King William II standing out. Price is worth it with an interesting temporary exhibition.

    (Translated by Google) The enthronement of painter van Tholen was beautiful. The handbag was not allowed into the museum, according to a staff member, it was not indicated anywhere, to which we answer that we did not do that because it contained securities and was allowed to enter. Panini sandwich with brie and 2 walnuts very expensive 10.50 € this is over the top, never again. (Original) Tenroonstelling van schilder van Tholen was mooi. Handtas mocht niet mee het museum in volgens een personeelslid, stond nergens aangegeven, waarop wij antwoorden dat we dat dat niet deden omdat er waardepapieren in zaten mocht hij mee naar binnen. Panini broodje met brie en 2 walnootjes erg duur 10,50 € dit is over de top, nooit meer.
