    Nice small museum on the early life of Mondriaan. Do not expect his modern work, but you get a glimpse of how he his transition went from a classical style to his abstract style.

    Super organized, other artists are also introduced. You feel very special when you know that 100 years ago from a window of the family house, you can still see the church that Mondriaan drew in his picture. There is a newly planted apple tree in the same place that is in the picture. There he went his way as a follower of his father. I was very positively surprised when we got a cup of coffee and a delicious piece of homemade apple tart in the lower area at the end of our adventurous tour of the museum, in a very cozy atmosphere. Be sure to visit!

    Piet Mondriaan, nowadays a worldwide renowned and admired artist 👩‍🎨 spent his youth (1880 to 1892) in his parental home on Zonnebrink 4 in Winterswijk. His father had acquired a position as the Director of the School of Christian National Instruction and lived with his family in the villa directly next to the school building. Piet’s father and uncle Frits Mondriaan taught Piet basic knowledge on drawing and painting.

    The staff are very nice but the visit is not worth the €12 entrance fee. There aren't many pictures and you get through it quickly

  • 5/5 Leonard G. 1 year ago on Google • 82 reviews
    A superb museum about Piet Mondriaan, who spent his early years in Winterswijk, in the villa he lived in. Small, but packed with his early paintings, films, but none of the later cubist style. There is a café and shop, also temporary exhibitions. Helpful staff, and right in the centre of this busy but still quaint town.

    Very nice little museum, focusing on the early work of Piet Mondriaan. Also work of his uncle and father and the Maris family. Doesn't take too long to visit, but still a nice experience. Especially since it's not too costly either.

  • 4/5 Yvonne D. 3 years ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Early works of Piet Mondriaan who lived & worked here (incl collaborations with his father). Free audio tour. Films subtitled in English + German. Uncle Frits and some other artists' works are exhibited too.

  • 4/5 Martin en Yvonne van der K. 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    We visited Villa Mondriaan after seeing his birthplace in Amersfoort. What a shame that they didn't even show the important Winterswijk period there! You have turned it into a very nice museum and the pastries were delicious too! Thank you for informing us about the location of the painting View of Winterswijk. I used that location to take my photo of it, together with some elements from the original, the Old Master assignment from our Photo Group Gendringen.

    Yesterday we went back to Villa Mondriaan after three years and were very disappointed. There are few pictures to see, no audio guide, empty cool rooms, poor lighting. The staff is friendly, but the visit is not worth 12 euros.

(Original) Bijzondere werken van Mondriaan uit vroegere tijden en andere kunstenaars. Geen blokjes waar hij door beroemd is geworden. Bij de entreeprijs zit een consumptie in.

    (Translated by Google) Interesting to see Mondrian for his cubist art (Original) Interessant om Mondriaan voor zijn kubistische kunst te zien

  • 4/5 Hans B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Many paintings from his early years, before his transition to abstract art. What I miss myself is that it is not really shown how his painting style evolved into the later abstract period. Nevertheless nice to see this part of the life and works of Piet Mondriaan (Original) Veel schilderijen uit zijn jonge jaren, voor zijn omslag naar de abstracte kunst. Wat ik zelf mis is dat niet echt getoond worst hoe zijn schilderstijl evolueerde naar de latere abstracte periode. Desondanks leuk om ook dit deel van het leven en werken van Piet Mondriaan te zien

    (Translated by Google) With only 2 or 3 visitors per room, it was actually impossible. (Original) Met slechts 2 of 3 bezoekers per kamer was het eigenlijk niet te doen.

  • 2/5 Max F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Not really earth-shattering. Building on the fact that Piet Mondriaan once lived here. (Original) Niet echt wereldschokkend. Voortborduren op het feit dat Piet Mondriaan hier ooit heeft gewoond.

  • 2/5 Piet G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Life and work of the early (! The museum should be able to make this clearer; many people also expect the abstract blocks) Mondrian is nicely presented here. Sometimes temporary exhibitions are worthwhile (such as the current one, from Mesquita). But: * mjk does not apply! And € 9 is too much. Despite the cup of coffee. * at the back is a recent extension, with sand and clogs. Extremely ugly on the outside, no good reason on the inside. Miskleun. Break it off and make it into a garden. * what kind of need is it to suddenly combine fine traditional art with contemporary ones? (see photo) Mesdag house also had such a mockery. It takes away the attention for the Mondrian work, and that is what we came for. The work would fit nicely; haha, nonsense. (Original) Leven en werk van de vroege (! het museum zou dit wat duidelijker mogen poneren; veel mensen verwachten toch ook de abstracte blokken) Mondriaan wordt hier aardig gepresenteerd. Soms zijn tijdelijke expo's de moeite waard (zoals de huidige, van Mesquita). Maar: * mjk geldt niet! En € 9,- is teveel. Ondanks het kopje koffie. * achteraan is een recente aanbouw, met zand en klompen. Van buiten oerlelijk, van binnen geen goede reden. Miskleun. Afbreken en tuin van maken. * wat is dat toch voor behoefte om puike traditionele kunst plots te combineren met onpuike hedendaagse? (zie foto) Mesdag-huis had ook al zo'n aanfluiting. Het haalt de aandacht voor het Mondriaan-werk weg, en daar waren we voor gekomen. Het werk zou mooi aansluiten; haha, nonsens.

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful museum. Piet Mondriaan used to live here  He was 8 years old when he came to live here with his family. (Original) Prachtig museum. Vroeger heeft Piet Mondriaan hier gewoond Hij was 8 jaar toen hij hier met zijn familie kwam wonen.

  • 5/5 Peter H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice museum with enthusiastic employees. Great audio tour or downloadable on your phone. For the museum you can start with the 9k Whemerbeek walk. You start towards the center and follow the yellow arrows. In the museum the information is also the route. Afterwards also to Germany to refuel. 6.7k but really saves you € 0.30 cents per liter! We had a great day in Winterswijk! (Original) Erg mooi museum met enthousiaste medewerkers. Prima audiotour of te downloaden op je telefoon. Voor het museum kun je starten met de Whemerbeek wandeling van 9k. Je start richting centrum en volg de gele pijlen. In het museum staat op de info ook de route. Na afloop ook nog even naar Duitsland om te tanken. 6.7k maar scheelt je echt € 0.30 cent per liter! Wij hadden een fijne dag in Winterswijk!

    (Translated by Google) Very interesting insight into the life of a famous artist's former space and map the past, determining the locations of his childhood. Also very pleased that the whole family could get to know his work of art, which also adds to the overall picture interesting mosaic pieces. Audioguide is also available in English, German and Dutch and contributes extremely entertaining information vouchers to the museum walk. I liked that they try to make the show even more dynamic audiovisual technology, and to open up space for other artists of his work as well. It was a great experience for me. :) (Original) Nagyon izgalmas betekintést nyerni egy híres művész egykori életterébe, és feltérképezni a múltját, gyermekkorának meghatározó helyszíneit. Szintén nagyon tetszett, hogy az egész család művészeti munkásságával meg lehetett ismerkedni, ami szintén érdekes mozaikdarabokkal gazdagítja az összképet. Az Audioguide angol, német és holland nyelven is elérhető, és rendkívül szórakoztató információbonbonokkal járul hozzá a múzeumi sétához. Tetszett, hogy audiovizuális technikával is igyekeznek még dinamikusabbá tenni a kiállítást, valamint, hogy más alkotók munkásságának is teret nyitnak. Számomra nagyszerű élmény volt. :)
