Interesting art museum in Maastricht. They have a variety of modern and older art on display. Some of the contemporary art on the upper floors was a bit disconcerting but that is the point. Not our favorite style but I’m sure there are those who enjoy it. Overall, I’d say this is a good place to visit if you are in Maastricht and looking for an intriguing museum to contemplate art. You could easily spend 1-2 hours here.

Excellent museum with a very large collection, well organized, curated, labeled, and lit. Large museum shop with large selection of art books.

Free access with museum card. Very interesting meshed.

A museum in Maastricht that needs to be allocated at least 2-3 hours. As well as classical permanent works, installations that touch on contemporary international issues are also interesting. At the entrance of the museum, there is a shop where you can buy original works. In addition, the restaurant on the ground floor is ideal for resting and eating something before or after your visit. You can go to the top floor by elevator and go down. If you find volunteers on the 2nd floor who are more than happy to provide information about the exhibits in the museum, do not neglect to listen. Access The museum is a bit outside the old center and on the other side of the river. It is possible to turn this situation into an opportunity for a nice walk. You can reach the museum by walking 20-25 minutes from the City Center. On your way, cross the Sint Servaasbrug bridge, one of Maastricht's beautiful bridges, and walk parallel to the river on Rechtstraat street. This street is an alternative to the old center, with cute shops and art galleries, and a very convenient street to walk before visiting a museum. You can buy original works at affordable prices from the shop called Maaslands Antiqariaat Lijtenmakerij, which is actually a frame shop on the street. When you reach the toy store named Kadowinkel in Twinkel, you can turn towards the river and walk the rest of the way to the museum parallel to the Meuse river. On the way back, you can walk back parallel to the river and reach the city center from the Hoge Brug bridge.

This is a second tier museum (globally speaking) but very progressive curators. Mostly, Dutch artists and arts of German decent are showcased. However, loved inclusive mindset of the curators and restoration workshop experience. If you are in Maastricht and have a lazy afternoon, this is would definitely be worth the trip.

This is not a museum for everyone, but everyone should give it a try. It's not a museum for kids as they would not understand most of it and probably not enjoy— but you can still try. Bonnefanten is a museum that displays a few exhibitions of contemporary art per time. This time there were an exhibition of comparative art, one on a Indonesian performance artist and one a contemporary "portrait" artist. The museum has also a permanent collection. It is worth a visit to have a grasp of what art means today and what doesn't mean anymore. Also the architecture of the building is a reason to go to bonnefanten museum at least one time.

#3Maastricht the type of museum to drop in to regularly rather than stay for hours looking at each exhibit. Loved the tower 'church' and the recent exhibition by Dan Walsh was interesting. Some pieces are nice to see again a second time which is why the museum card is such a great purchase! #railthetrails

Great museum with a plethora of art showcased, a gift shop, and a nice restaurant. It is worth noticing that its focus is on contemporary art. I truly enjoyed the few hours I spent there, as well as their food. We visited in the afternoon of a weekday during summer vacation and it wasn't cramped at all.

Wirklich schönes und interessantes Museum. Alt und neu gemischt, tolle Architektur. Für jeden was dabei. Auch für die Kinder. Das Lokal ist nett, aber wir mussten sehr lange aufs Essen warten und dann war es allenfalls durchschnittlich. Das muss besser sein!

The museum is located in a nice open area just on the side of The Meuse. The building architecture is quite interesting.

Such an experience. Fabulous building. Interesting exhibits, displayed very well. Lovely stylish cafe as well.

A wonderful few hours spent here. Many varied exhibitions,well laid out in Dutch and English.

I went to the monthly free friday exhibition and it went really well. The location is a bit far from the center of Maastricht, however you can arrive in 5 minutes by bike. The staff hands out a brochure with the different activities of the day, which was really handful. The exhibition was interesting, but most of the workshops and lectures were taught in Dutch, and were not communicated as that, which is unfortunate for foreigns. Don't miss out the 30 minutes concerts and the gift shop (although really expensive, it has creative art pieces).

Its so special museum where you can find both middle aged section, modern art section and themed expositions at the same time.

The cat art pieces were not sufficient. Too much religious content, which was very repetitive. Way too much. Needs a better mix. Beautiful museum setup but space is not utilized correctly.

Very nice museum and my extended thanks to the personal that allowed me to visit even 30 min before close

Ein sehr schönes Museum. Wir waren mit einer Gruppe dort und machten eine Führung mit. Natürlich sieht man bei einer Führung nicht Alles, aber es war sehr interessant. Die Ausstellung von Patricia Kaersenhout "Visions of Possibilities" ist eine starke Ausstellung. Unsere Führerin konnte zu vielen Exponate interessante Geschichten erzählen.

Interesting building! The exhibition on the first floor was not very interesting. But the exhibitions on the second and third floors were great and interesting. You need a whole day to see and experience everything.

Das Museum versucht den Spagat zwischen alter und neuer Kunst. Das ist spannend, denn so werden Bezüge offensichtlich, die man sonst nicht ohne weiteres erkennen würde. Die Ausstellungen sind großartig entworfen und sehr eigenwillig, so dass sich ein Besuch immer wieder lohnt. Das Gebäude selbst ist sehr markant und eigenwillig, es sticht aus der Skyline Maastrichts durchaus heraus. Sollte jemand tatsächlich nicht vollständig von den Ausstellungen überzeugt sein - das Bauwerk selbst ist spektakulär genug für einen Besuch.

Very big museum, don’t have enough time to finish all parts. My suggestion for visitors: leave enough time to explore the exhibition and also for the interaction parts (paper-made hat etc..). The museum shop is very nice! Bring some souvenirs to decorate your home! * museumkaart excerpted, no need for reservation.

Really nice mix of the Dutch Masters paintings, along with the 2 other exhibitions which were focused on modern art. Unusual but really appreciated the curation. Staff all very friendly and well worth the visit. Some of the art could do with a bit more explaining but perhaps that is the way with modern art. Appreciated the student discount also (allows international students!)

Not really our kind of museum. It’s mostly medieval paintings and carvings about Jesus etc on one side. On the other side there’s a lot of modern art but it seemed a bit pretentious and it just didn’t really move us. There were a few really nice things too and we were able to see the Rembrandt that’s traveling through the country at the moment so that was cool! The building itself is also interesting.

I visited the Bonnefanten museum on the Maastricht Museum Nacht event. The museum is amazing, and the art displayed is varied. I advise you to visit this museum when visiting Maastricht.

I like the photography exhibition on the third floor. There’s even a selfie place set up with very helpful lighting. Oh and for a person into museum food, their mustard soup is superb.

Nice lay-out of the museum. The 1th floor permanent exhibition doesn't do it for me. 2nd & 3rd floor more contemporary arts with a few highs and lows. Cafe serves great food and thumbs up for their friendly staff!

Very well maintained museum. The art is exhibited in many rooms which are quite spacious, granting every piece the space it deserves. It was quiet and not too crowded, enabeling visitors to admire the art in peace.

Great adventure for all! Entertainment and art in an original form. Cool.

I loved my visit there today, old Masters on the first floor, Impressionistic 2nd floor and a great photo exhibition on the top floor. Perfect, everything I love under one roof and easy to cover in a couple of hours.

Much bigger than it seems from outside. A must-visit place in Maastricht.

Interesting art museum with combination of medieval and modern collections. Modern part includes quite a lot of audio and video effects, sounds and lights. In general, the collections are not large, but your overall visit could take rather some time if you get into every piece of art. There is also museum shop and cafe on the ground floor.

A rocket-shaped museum with cool design and cool exhibitions

What a great museum. So much diverse artwork from different eras and the building is really beautiful.

Fine museum. Perfect to visit on a rainy day. Some parts more interesting and engaging than others. Nice museum shop with lot of great gift ideas.

Great museum, with very beautiful arts. The design of the building is also very nice.

Oktober 2021 Margaret Kilgallen - That's where the beauty is. Skin - art experience for young and old

Really interesting curation choices, well worth a visit.

Great place to visit while you're in Maastricht ❤❤
