Airborne Museum at Hartenstein

The Airborne Museum is a museum about the Battle of Arnhem. In September ‘44, Villa Hartenstein was the headquarters of the British airborne troops. Now you can learn all about the battle that should have ended WW2. The Airborne Experience puts you right in the middle of the battle - from the airborne landings into the heath of the evacuation across the Rhine. For children there is ‘Mission Hartenstein’. Guided by soldier Tommy Atkins, they listen to stories, carry out assignments and unravel the secrets of Hartenstein.

Museum Arnhem

Museum Arnhem lies on the high lateral moraine commanding a stunning view of the Rhine. The collection covers a wide range of exhibits and is mainly known for its most important collection of neorealists in the Netherlands. Museum Arnhem also boasts a major collection of contemporary art, applied art and a jewellery collection. In the freely accessible sculpture garden you can find works such as "Borstentros" by Maria Roosen, "Pong" by Louie Cordero, and "Warrior with Shield" by Henry Moore.

Kröller-Müller Museum

With almost 90 paintings and over 180 drawings, Kröller-Müller Museum is home to the world’s second-largest Vincent van Gogh collection. Here, you can get closer to his works than anywhere else. In addition, the collection features major pieces by world-class artists such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Seurat, Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and many more. At the same time, you can look through the enormous window into the garden beyond, where you’ll see sculptures by Auguste Rodin, Barbara Hepworth, Jan Fabre and Marta Pan. In the 25-hectare ‘outdoor gallery’, you can admire the artworks from up close and sometimes even from the inside.
