I liked the museum! Some interesting artworks. Spend 75 minutes there. Less then Google mentioned as average (2-3 hours). Surroundings of the museum are also nice. You can take a stroll, or get lunch in the neighbouring restaurant. We walked to the beach afterwards (1.5 hour walk)

This museum is without doubt the best museum I have ever been to in my life. The way that the main building has been designed relative to the surroundings, the stunning gardens and the light inside the building was amazing. The quality of the installations and art was visually impressive and engaging. The staff were all really friendly and took the time to explain everything and engage meaningfully. I recommended this museum to as many people as I could and they all raved about the place. This is definitely one of the best places to go in the Netherlands.

Voorlinden is a private museum located in Wassenaar, near The Hague in the Netherlands. It was founded by businessman and art collector Joop van Caldenborgh in 2016. The museum is situated on a beautiful estate in the dunes, providing a picturesque setting for the display of modern and contemporary art. The museum building itself is designed to enhance the art viewing experience. It is an oblong-shaped structure made of variegated dune sand-colored natural stones and transparent glass walls, allowing the surrounding nature to blend with the interior. The building features an elegant white-steel colonnade and a unique roof structure. The interior is divided into three sections, corresponding to the museum's program of collection presentations, changing exhibitions, and permanent in-situ works. The exhibition rooms are illuminated by natural daylight, which enters the building through ingeniously cut tubes, creating a gradual and dynamic lighting effect. To ensure optimal illumination on less sunny days and evenings, a velum and transparent glass roof with integrated LED lighting is used. Museum Voorlinden houses several permanent artworks. Some of these are incorporated into the building itself, such as the Skyspace by James Turrell and the corten steel sculpture Open Ended by Richard Serra. The museum also features works by Maurizio Cattelan, including a permanent installation, as well as the illusionistic Swimming Pool by Leandro Erlich. Additionally, semi-permanent displays include the hyper-realistic Couple under an Umbrella by Ron Mueck and glass sculptures by Roni Horn. Each artwork is presented in its own separate gallery, allowing visitors to fully appreciate them. The Voorlinden Estate has a rich history dating back to Roman times. The name Voorlinden originated in 1584, and during the 17th century, several country estates were established around The Hague, including Voorlinden. In the early 19th century, a park was designed in landscape style by J.D. Zocher and his son. Later, architect R.J. Johnston built the current country house based on the English stately house style, commissioned by Esquire Ir. Hugo Loudon. Landscape architect Leonard Springer redesigned the landscape during the same period, incorporating indigenous and exotic tree species. For the opening of Museum Voorlinden, landscape and garden architect Piet Oudolf was tasked with designing the area surrounding the new building, resulting in a unique blend of 19th-century, 20th-century, and 21st-century landscapes. Visitors to the estate can enjoy the freely accessible woods, dune meadow, and dune areas by following designated footpaths. However, due to the presence of wildlife and birds, dogs are required to be kept on a leash. Museum Voorlinden Buurtweg 90 2244 AG Wassenaar Nederland

This incredible place is definitely worth a visit if you’re into modern art. Kind of reminded of me “Depot Boijmans” in Rotterdam. The swimming pool exhibition is crazy and the room with glow in the dark lighting. No need to pre purchase tickets. Taking public transport is easy, it’s only a 5-10 mins walk from the closest bus stop which takes you directly to The Hague central. Go in the morning. Spend the day on the relaxing on the grass after or at the cafe.

This place is magnificent. The building sits peacefully surrounded by a beautiful forest, connected to nature. The inside to outside edge is none existing. The swim in the pool, was a whole new experience. Going deep down with out getting wet. Looking up at blurry faces looking down. The art is alive, creating such a fun atmosphere with laughter and sounds from the deep belly. There are some wise words from a little mouse, stop and listen, take those thoughts home and into action. The people sitting on the beach are larger than life, quite literally, so real but not alive. Walking into the labrinth through the curves is indeed a journey with in and with out, the corners come and go and than you find yourself. A room where the sky is the painting, now that's a thought. To stand surrounded by lights and water, one feels part of the universe. For everyone who has been traveling around the sun, I say pop in, you will be taken back to yourself, to the very beginning.

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum unfortunately no museum map. If you come by public transport from The Hague, it is best to walk a bit. Pay attention to the green signs. The museum is owned by the calkhoven, therefore the museum is € 17.50pp but it is worth it.the swimming pool and the couple what is there is fun for young children, there is a discount on the website to buy it for off and on. are busy catering is quite expensive a cup of coffee and piece of apple pie € 6.50 pp you walk beautiful in gardens also sit outside despite that lasts it is recommended it remains fun but also very expensive. (Original) Zeer leuk museum helaas geen museum kaart. Als uw met het openbaar vervoer komt uit den Haag dan is best nog stukje lopen Let op de groen bordjes. Het museum is eigendom van de calkhoven daarom is museum €17,50pp maar het de moeite waard.het zwembad en het echtpaar wat daar zien is is leuk voor jong kinderen is een korting zien website het om voor af kaart en te kopen.het beste druk zijn horeca is best kostbare een kopje koffie en stukje appeltaart €6,50 pp je mooie in tuinen lopen ook heerlijk buiten zitten ondanks dat duurt is het een aanrader het blijft wel leuk maar toch ook erg duur.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. I won't lie and say I know much about modern art but that did not stop me enjoying the museum in full. There are some very interesting and thought provoking exhibitions in an architecturally stunning building. Staff are friendly and helpful and the grounds/gardens surrounding the museum are beautifully done and maintained with expert care. We cycled which was ideal as the weather was lovely, but it is a bit of trek from the nearest bus stop (20 walk), so perhaps it would be best to drive there if bringing kids or older folks!

My favorite museum! I was there five of six times Such a different experience: no crowds, beautiful countryside around, the display is always top notch, you can go for a nature walk straight away. Love this place! Be aware, museum card is not valid.

An amazing location, most certainly worth a visit for their inspiring displays of contemporary artwork. It was pouring with rain the day we visited, we'd taken a train, then a bus, then walked through the storm without an umbrella so it was a joy to dry off in this light and wonderful space. Thoroughly recommend a visit there!

This is a lovely museum for all ages. The museum has magnificent views on the nearby nature. The works and exhibitions are very interesting too. This museum is one of my favourites. I really recommend this, also for those who doesn't visit a museum regularly.

Very likeabke museum with modern and contemporary collection and solo shows.

Very impressive and well curated collection in a beautiful setting. A must-visit if near The Hague.

A must for contemporary art fans and Instagram enthusiasts! Definitely one of the best art museums in the country. Though it has its cons: If you travel by public transport then it’s quite a walk by foot, they don’t take Museumkaart, it gets quite crowded so you better come in early if you want to see the mirror room. It has so many nice and unique pieces that make the trip worth it.

Such a great experience on a sunny day ☀ !

Impressive private collection (and exhibition facility), made accessible to lovers of contemporary (conceptual) art. High enter- and infotainment value, and therefor fit for children as well. Nice building, good (out-door) catering, beautiful garden, situated at the edge of the Zuid-Holland dune area of Wassenaar.

Fantastic museum. Such an impressive building (spacious and the lighting is so well done), beautiful green surroundings, art works get all the space they need. Loved the Anthony Gormley exhibition, it's quite an experience! Enough parkingplaces (free), good lockers (don't need a coin) and clean toilets. Two restaurants. Steep entry fee (no Museumkaart), drinks and sandwiches at safaritent not great for price, but nice to sit in the field watching the birds fly over.

Love this museum. World class contemporary art. Worth going out of your way to see and experience contemporary art. It not too big so you will not be overwhelmed. Great art space.

Best modern art museum since a while. We really enjoyed our visit.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great museum.Brilliant exhibition Rinus Van De Velde. A must see!!!!!! Restaurant = Not the freshest food for a tourist , but I think that's down to the food of the country. Not the best cuisine.

Nice gallery, a bit expensive for its small number of pieces, very unique and interesting tho. a great spot for quite a few photo-ops, also has a beautiful garden and hiking paths towards some big sand dunes

To be found on a discreet side street of Wassenaar is an aesthetic oasis. There is ample parking, go early to void disappointment. The pavilion is 300 meter from the car park. Follow well paved wide path past the restaurant and Martin Creed trees to the entrance. The elegant building is tall and spacious with glass on all sides. There is a library (by appointment only), a temporary exhibition, an excellent permanent collection and concerts once a month on Monday mornings. Admission is €22, no concessions, no Ya Carte. Plan to spend at least 2 hours indoors. Do experience the Turrell Sky Room, the swimming pool, the piano and outdoor sculptures ( another hour at least). Children and babies seemed very welcome. There is a cloak room and lockers. No bags allowed. The gift shop has lots of interesting things for all budgets. Despite it being very busy the staff were very nice and attentive. I cant recommends this impeccable gem highly enough.

This is an absolutely magical place in the Netherlands!!! Hardly visited by tourists, as it’s a bit cumbersome to get to from the usual touristy spots, this museum is immersed in an oasis of greenery and lush and filled with wonders. Visit the temporary exhibitions (when we went you could get a tattoo from the artist on the spot!), to the marvellous permanent installations. What an absolutely incredible find!

Great museum with iconic pieces. A must see if you travel to the Hague. Also has cute cows passing by sometimes

I really enjoyed my visit here! It’s a fantastic museum with beautiful contemporary art collections. The collections are not too much that you feel like you have to rush through each one of them, but are not too few that you feel it’s not worth it to come. The route is designed nicely and the staff members are very helpful. The museum itself is very pleasantly designed too, the lines are finished beautifully and the layout of the collections is great.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum, just a pity that you cannot enter with the museum year pass (Original) Leuk museum, alleen jammer dat je niet met de museumjaarkaart naar binnen kan

Stunning modern art museum, but pretty sad to see they use live kanaries in small uninspiring cages for one their exhibits. Really ruined the experience for me. Edit: Thank you for your reply. When something is allowed by law does mean it's good taste or morally sound. I would have expected a museum like yours to uphold higher standards than that.

The Voorlinden Museum is an Art Museum in Wassenaar and is privately owned and founded by Joop van Caldenborg. What a cool collection of art! The Voorlinden Museum has so much fun things to see. And not just for adults. The Museum it self looks great. Just wait until you get inside. Enjoy!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful museum in a beautiful setting. It has intriguing works of art, from very small and detailed to gigantic and impressive. The "dip in the pool" is also an experience in itself, really brilliant! Well worth a visit! (Original) Prachtig museum in een prachtige omgeving. Het heeft intrigerende kunstwerken, van heel klein en detailrijk tot gigantisch en imponerend. De ‘duik in het zwembad’ is ook een ervaring op zich, echt geniaal! Zeker een bezoek waard!

An amazing museum in a great green setting. Also the garden around the museum is a piece of art ...

Wonderful museum. Do visit! Picasso's are worth seeing.

(Translated by Google) Estate alone is insane! museum always cool especially the "underwater no water" pool! very nice also with children. (Original) Landgoed alleen al is waanzinnig ! museum altijd gaaf vooral het "onderwater geen water" zwembad! erg leuk ook met kinderen.

This museum was like a dream! I went here for my birthday, and it really lived up to my expectations! The current expositions are very colurful, bold and modern. It truly was a lovely experience to have been here. It felt very minimal and playful at the same time. I can't recommend it enough :)

A very entertaining museum. I don't want to spoil it, you have to see yourself! I took a walk at the park after viewing the exhibition. The brownie was also a satisfaction.

The place is worth seeing. The archirecture of the building offers big volumes, luminous spaces which is perfect for art exhibitions. Very interesting collection of contemporary art. And the restaurant was also a good surprise.

An amazing art museum, wonderfully curated. I got a feel good vibe, made me happy. Pictures don't to justice. This must be live enjoyed

Visiting Museum Voorlinden was an impulse decision so I did not read up beforehand. I was pleasantly surprised by the art they had on display. I am no art connoisseur but I love photography. So seeing large prints by Rineke Dijkstra was a nice surprise. A very large piece by Andy Warhol, Damien Hurst etc. Pretty impressive. I skipped the Anselm Kiefer. Too heavy for me. I was amused by the boomers trying to be very arty and 'explaining' all the art while looking very serious. Richard Serra's massive steel structure is very impressive. Don't forget to walk up the steps to see it from above. And go to the pool art thing. Look down and then go underneath to look up. The reastaurant is well run, especially since they are currently seven vacancies on the restaurant alone. The pea soup I had is not as good as the one I make but there was nothing really wrong with it either. I'll be back, once they replace mr Kiefer with something more interesting. Still on the expensive side though. The Museumkaart is not accepted here.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful museum in a beautiful walking environment 💚 (Original) Prachtig museum in een schitterende wandel omgeving 💚

Beautiful museum! Awesome art, very expressive so it's also ideal for children. I've visited with my 3 year old and she loved it.

The park surrounding the museum is free and deserves a visit. The museum's building is also deserving of a visit. The museum is also excellent with a fantastic permanent exhibition and temporary exhibition, however the cost is €17.50. No Museumcard applies.

Nice museum in a beautyful park, where you can walk away from the usual workdays. Drink a coffee before the museum opens, discover the exhibitions then take a walk in the park - that will be a great day.

Other than there being annoying people blocking you from seeing the exhibits because they are taking pictures. The art itself is very good. And the this building that I don't know about on the way.

(Translated by Google) The art is fun and cool to see. In contrast, the atmosphere in this museum is terrible. If you speak even a little louder than whisper level, half the museum will look at you as if you are crazy. About 12,737 times were asked if we wanted to keep our distance from the artworks. It seems quite logical to me that you don't touch anything in a museum (which we obviously didn't do either). In short, nice art with a terribly uncomfortable unpleasant atmosphere. The proof can be seen in the vlog of YouTuber Don de Jong! Type in on YouTube: "THIS IS BIZARRE FACIAL!" and experience the nasty atmosphere for yourself, without paying an entrance fee. (Original) De kunst is leuk en gaaf om te zien. De sfeer in dit museum is daarentegen verschrikkelijk. Als je ook maar een beetje harder dan fluisterniveau praat kijkt het halve museum je aan alsof je gek bent. Er werd ongeveer 12.737 keer gevraagd of we afstand wilden houden van de kunstwerken. Het lijkt mij vrij logisch dat je niks aanraakt in een museum (wat we dus uiteraard ook niet hebben gedaan). Kortom, leuke kunst met een verschrikkelijk ongemakkelijke onprettige sfeer. Het bewijs is trouwens te zien in de vlog van YouTuber Don de Jong! Type in op YouTube: "DIT IS BIZARRE GEZICHTSBEDROG!" en ervaar zelf de nare sfeer, zonder dat je er entree voor betaald.

(Translated by Google) Great museum, located between the dunes and in the middle of a beautiful garden. Definitely worth a visit. (Original) Geweldig museum, gelegen tussen de duinen en midden in een prachtige tuin. Absoluut de moeite waard om eens te bezoeken.

Wonderful museum. The buildings and grounds are by themselves already well worth the visit. However, experiencing the museum and the Anselm Kiefer exhibition is a must. The art is created for the public and for public spaces. Museum Voorlinden is just the place to experience it. I was blown away.

Where nice museum, modern art nice placed, very friendly staff, prices ok, nice to see alone, with partner, family, friends, museum is nice placed in a park, nice afternoon outing

Great Picasso - Giacometti exposition! There’s a fair amount of rooms you can explore and learn from. Highly recommend.

Beautiful domain in which the museum building is located. The expositions had great variety.

Brilliant! The whole family really enjoyed the exhibits - so impressive, original and imaginative that we ended up going round it twice. The restaurant and gardens were lovely too. Free on-site parking was such a relief after a long drive there.

Normally I'm not into contemporary art, but this is one of the few museums with works that I can truly appreciate. It is not very large, but it also has a park outside which you can visit.

Wonderful museum of contemporary modern art located on lush and verdant property just north of The Hague (Wassenaar). Currently, the main exhibit is Alex Katz. It is, however, a private museum, thus the museum card doesn’t work there. Entry fee is 19 euros and well worth it. And be sure to order the apple taart at the museum cafe.

What a hidden gem! The museum is filled with super interesting and very nice pieces and exhibitions, it was very fun to walk around. You can interact with some pieces as well. I recommend going on a weekday for the least amount of visitors, and buy the ticket at the museum to get a paper ticket if you like collecting souvenirs. There was no line for the tickets and museum was relatively empty, we got to enjoy everything and got nice shots. It’s a private museum so unfortunately you can’t enter for free here with a museum card, you have to buy the ticket. Don’t forget to sit down and relax at the restaurant and check out the cows with white belts! 🐄

The design of the building is phenomenal. It suits perfectly with the landscape and the art, while also provides a unique conversation between the exhibition and nature. Highly recommend for a day-trip

It is a beautiful museum with a great permanent exposition. The temporary expositions we saw were also very impressive.

This privately owned museum houses a very accessible collection of contemporary art. The building itself make use if the beautifull gardens around. In the old land house houses a restaurant and you can also enjoy a walk in the dunes nearby. We had the pleasure to have the temporary exhibition of Anselm Kiefer...a real mist. There is a tour for kids available as well.

The swim in pool and the architecture of this museum is absolutely astonishing, a masterpiece. All works are equally brilliant.

Great museum and the whole estate is a nice place visit. Museum is not very big, but enough for a one day balanced experience. Great big expo spaces, friendly atmosphere, some really good art. A good adventure to do, surely worth its cost!

Fantastic museum! They have a permanent exhibition and 2 changing ones. At the time of writing I liked the permanent the best. They are big and interactive and very special! This isn't your classical "art on the wall" museum. The price was well worth it for me. Everything also looked clean and tidy. The museum is in a nice park which is also worth taking a walk through.

The best museum experience I’ve had anywhere, a shame the museum pass is not usable here and you have to pay for the ticket but honestly it is worth it! Plus the café has a cheesecake that reminds me of my Oma’s recipe :)

(Translated by Google) Beautiful exhibition and completely corona taste ... recommended (Original) Prachtige tentoonstelling en helemaal corona proef ...aanrader

(Translated by Google) Awesome! (Original) Geweldig!

(Translated by Google) Early in the morning we walked through this beautiful museum almost alone. Not much was "I can do that too" so full of admiration counted the hairs on her arms and lying on the floor in front of the elevator and the mouse. (Original) Vroeg in de ochtend dus bijna alleen door dit mooie museum geslenterd. Niet veel was "dat kan ik ook" dus vol bewondering de haartjes op haar armen geteld en op de grond gelegen voor het liftje en de muis.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful surroundings, impressive building and beautiful collection of modern art. Until next time (Original) Prachtige omgeving, indrukwekkend gebouw en mooie collectie moderne kunst. Tot de volgende keer

(Translated by Google) Nice museum. Colorful, inspiring. (Original) Mooi museum. Kleurrijk, inspirerend.

A modern art museum with a beautiful park around it. The museum has a couple of incredible highlights that you have to experience. We went on the 1st of November and it was quite crowded. People did their best to keep distance but it was not possible in all the places. Combine the visit with a walk it will make you feel good.

(Translated by Google) Surprisingly fun! (Original) Verassend leuk!

(Translated by Google) Great museum. Nice park. Excellent catering. But unfortunately no free entrance with # museumkaart😪 (Original) Geweldig museum. Mooi park. Prima catering. Maar helaas geen gratis entree met #museumkaart😪

(Translated by Google) Beautiful setting and tasty cakes. Wide collection of art. However, there is little information in the booklets. These only state how the work was made, but with most works it is not entirely clear what the artist wants to convey with the work. This makes it less accessible for the less connoisseurs among us. (Original) Prachtige omgeving en lekker gebak. Ruime collectie van kunst. Echter staat er weinig informatie in de boekjes. Deze vermelden alleen hoe het werk is gemaaktaar het is bij de meeste werken niet helemaal duidelijk wat de kunstenaar met het werk duidelijk wilt maken. Hierdoor is het voor de mindere kenners onder ons minder toegankelijk.

(Translated by Google) Cool museum (Original) Gaaf museum

(Translated by Google) came for the garden to walk .... this was beautiful and giving peace .... together with especially wife and the dogs on a leash, walked nicely and also enjoyed the coffee and apple cake. (Original) ben voor de tuin gekomen om te wandelen ....dit was mooi en rust gevend ....samen met m.n vrouw en de aangelijnde hondjes lekker gewandeld en ook genoten van de koffie en appelcake.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful museum of modern art with changing exhibitions (Original) Prachtig museum voor moderne kunst met wisselende exposities

(Translated by Google) Wonderful museum in a beautiful setting. I went there to learn more about modern art. And although I did not like or understand everything, it was an educational day! (Original) Prachtig museum in een prachtige omgeving. Ik ging er naar toe om meer over moderne kunst te weten te komen. En hoewel ik lang niet alles mooi vond of begreep, was het een leerzame dag!

(Translated by Google) Really impossible: art with live birds in cages! (Original) Kan echt niet meer: kunst met levende vogels in kooitjes!

(Translated by Google) Finally we were allowed to go back. What a party!!!!! Now our children have been taken along and they also enjoy themselves to the full. Beautiful exhibitions again, thank you for your wonderful existence (Original) Eindelijk mochten we weer heen. Wat een feest!!!!! Nu onze kinderen mee genomen en ook zij genieten volop. Prachtige exposities weer, dankjewel voor je wonderschone bestaan

Incredible experience, my favorite contemporary art museum so far! Very respectful attitude from staff and visitors towards the art. _ I was also lucky to attend a temporary exhibition of early works by Pablo Picasso and Giacometti!

(Translated by Google) Fun (Original) Leuk

(Translated by Google) Great museum with unique collection. Really a must do! (Original) Geweldig museum met unieke collectie. Echt een must do!

(Translated by Google) Nice museum with modern art. Also fun for the kids (Original) Mooi museum met moderne kunst. Ook leuk voor de kinderen

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and impressive. Recommended 😉 (Original) Bijzonder mooi en indrukwekkend. Aanrader 😉

(Translated by Google) Nice museum, spacious, visited around two o'clock, for children a card game with questions, due to the Corona measures now book online, sit outside and / or walk in good weather with beautiful views, recommended! (Original) Leuk museum, ruim opgezet, rond de twee uur binnen geweest, voor kinderen een kaartspel met vragen, door de Coronamaatregelen nu online reserveren, bij mooi weer met prachtig uitzicht buiten zitten en/of wandelen, aanrader!

(Translated by Google) Very cool, even if you don't like modern art like I do. (Original) Erg gaaf, zelfs als je niet van moderne kunst houdt, zoals ik.

Great Museum and cafe. The museum has a great array of pieces of multiple mediums by a compelling array of artists. The surrounding gardens are also quite nice to walk around.

Nice museum with exhibitions on modern art. The entrance fee is super expensive for what they expose though and the museum is quite far from the city of the Hague so it's more something to do by car than by public transport. The park surrounding the museum is really nice so be sure to go there on a sunny day so you can enjoy it :)

(Translated by Google) Nice museum to visit together. Very spacious and impressive works of art. However, you will be sent to the highlights right at the beginning, which is more of a DIY part. Going through everything else with small children afterwards is very difficult (saying no touch 200 times is simply tiring). I had chosen a different route through the museum myself. Furthermore, had a great day. (Original) Leuk museum om samen naar toe te gaan. Erg ruim opgezet en indrukwekkende kunstwerken. Echter, je word gelijk aan het begin naar de highlights gestuurd, wat toch meer een doe-deel is. Om daarna met kleine kinderen nog langs al het andere te gaan, is erg lastig (200x niet aanraken zeggen is nou eenmaal vermoeiend). Ik had zelf voor een andere route door het museum gekozen. Verder prima dag gehad.

We spent a peaceful afternoon here. special memory for me.

Nice museum, not to big. A visit will cost you approximately 1 hour inside the museum and afterwards you can do a walk in the park

Stunning Art, Architectural building, surrounding Gardens plus the unwinding Restaurant to take all your experience in... why are you waiting to visit?

Beautiful modern art collections! Also really beautiful park and garden as surroundings. Too bad, just like any other famous exhibits, I needed to pile up my patience a little bit extra to see the swimming pool exhibits and I was only allowed to be inside the swimming pool for 1 minute. I was with my 2 other friends anyway and one minute to enjoy and take pictures, not to mention to pass through the stairs were definitely not convenient.
