Museum Kranenburgh is a museum for modern and contemporary art in the green artist village of Bergen

Many artists, from around 1900 to the present, feel attracted and inspired by the landscape of the polder, the dunes, the forest and the beach in and around Bergen.

Collection

Museum Kranenburgh maintains an extensive collection of art from 1900 to the present, the core of which is the art of the Bergen School.

The collection includes masterpieces by Leo Gestel, Jan Sluijters, Charley Toorop and Else Berg, as well as later artists such as Lucebert, Jaap Mooy and Edgar Fernhout, and contemporary artists such as Claudy Jongstra, Folkert de Jong, Lara Schnitger and Bastiaan Woudt.

Organisation

Museum Kranenburgh was founded in 1993 in Villa Kranenburgh and expanded in 2013 with a new wing, designed by architect Dirk Jan Postel. Museum Kranenburgh is known for its collection, which includes several key works from the Bergen School, and its iconic sculpture garden featuring works by modern and contemporary artists. Our exhibition program highlights our own collection, but also features presentations of works by contemporary artists.

Stichting Kranenburgh also includes the Het Sterkenhuis historical museum.

The driving force behind the museum is an enthusiastic team of staff, supported by dedicated volunteers with a passion for art and culture.
