    Nice gallery with sculptures from clay, metal, stone. It has very nose view and open space on the rooftop. The ticket a bit expensive

    Really beautiful sculpture museum in an amazing building by the sea. Fantastic exposition by Henry Moore.

    Fantastic museum built into the dune. Nice architecture... The art on display is beautiful sculptures. On the day of my visit there was also a children's workshop to teach them to create clay moulds. It is a pleasant museum to visit.

    Awesome museum with both indoor and outdoor exhibits. This month's special is Brazil (in conjunction of Rio Olympics 2016). Beautiful execution.

    Lovely sculptures by the sea. I would recommend this place to all people, because the art reminds me of Gulliver’s Travels, but with more sincere kindness than satire.

    A very nice collection of statues in their own exhibition and also some more experimental things like virtual reality art. The exhibition was also quite enjoyable with their grey icecream flavours. Sitting outside was during the summer also a high, it not being windy but very close to the sea, but in the winter that part could be a bit cold.

    Not my favorite museum. Not sure why but perhaps the location on the boardwalk of what looks and feels like a touristy theme park (think Coney Island) is the reason.

    An amazing memorable museum with beautiful sculptures, paintings and knowledgeable staff. Spent all day here and couldn't get enough! Exhibitions are particularly exceptional and I would highly recommend a visit here.

    Was visiting the Henry Moore exhibition. An English artist, well-known for his forms, that are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces.

    Pleasant museum hidden in a dune. Great interior and exterior spaces. High level contemporary exhibitions. The large number of volunteers on duty can be a bit annoying sometimes…

    The Thomas Moore exhibition in Museum Beelden Aan Zee is a perfect match. A real must-see and a beautiful experience. 👍🏻

    Enjoyed the visit! Lovely location. I especially liked the Gipsotheek (library of plaster models)

  • 5/5 Ricardo M. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful museum with sculptures of various artists. We were impressed by the beauty of the works and the size of the museum. We spoke to a couple of nice persons that work there, who were helpful and told us some of the history of the building on top of the museum. It really is worth a visit for the art and sculpture lovers.

  • 5/5 Frans H. 10 months ago on Google
    Delightful museum with a nice ambiance. The special about Henry Moore was very prominent. There are also some objects outdoors.

  • 3/5 Thomas M. 4 years ago on Google
    Interesting collection, but actually way overpriced. Compared to all other museums in the region, this one is both the most expensive and least extensive of all. Not a fan at all...

  • 4/5 Ninena G. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the location of this museum. It's a beautiful place. Fine collection and a very good exhibitions. I have a museum card and don't mind the price of the tickets at all. But... I do believe, it is overpriced. For the size of the museum, the size of the collection, to ask the amount of money this museum asks... I don't know if it's worth it. Also, at the first time my museums life I was asked to put a small purse (15 on 25 cm) in the storage box. I found it strange.

    Outside was impressive, inside not so much.

  • 5/5 Aravind G. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved the museum and the exhibition of Igor

  • 1/5 Jean K. 1 year ago on Google
    OverPriced. Go to the stadsmuseum and compare it to this museum. Its probably the "sea location" you are paying for but not for the Beelden.

    Amazing modern art by the sea

  • 4/5 CL 2 years ago on Google
    Nice museum. Could use more English description.

  • 5/5 Leonieke A. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful exhibitions of sculptures, modern and refreshing. The calm of the exhibition spaces makes you leave the day-to-dayay world and it transports you.

  • 5/5 Luna 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed my visit a lot. The building and surroundings are so atmospheric and the exhibits were great. Friendly staff. Hope to come back.

  • 5/5 Agnes B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing exhibition. Good explanations. Lots of accessible space to wander round. Loved it.

    Definitely not my style of museum, found it pretty boring but the staff was nice

  • 5/5 Maurice H. 5 years ago on Google
    This museum focuses exclusively on contemporary sculpture. Designed by Dutch architect Wim Quist, the museum is constructed with sand-coloured materials to blend in with its surroundings. The building, with a basic shape of two large circles, is dug into a dune. From the intimacy of the museum one has a surprising view of sea and clouds: a silent sensation.

    Very cool museum by the beach! The face outside is spectacular when it’s sunny 😎
