A different perspective on Dutch landscape
Museum Voorlinden, officially called ‘Voorlinden Museum & Gardens’, is located in a nature reserve that covers 40 hectares. It is a place where you see five types of landscape meet: forest, ancient beach ridges, young dunes, meadows and landscaped gardens.
In other words, Voorlinden is not just a museum but also a country estate that is open to the public. You can discover the abundance of nature in and around Voorlinden in all sorts of ways. Is your choice to visit the museum? Inside, you will find Skyspace, a permanent work of art comprising a room with a square opening in the roof that lets you see the sky as you have never seen it before.
You can walk from the minimalist and impressive museum building to the Meijendel nature reserve. In this vast nature reserve with dunes and an abundance of water, numerous bunkers from World War II and a historic water tower have become part of the landscape. The sand in Meijendel is constantly shifting. It blows across the grasslands, which in turn become sand flats.
