Armando Museum, Contemporary art museum in Amersfoort, Netherlands
The Armando Museum occupies a converted church building and displays paintings, sculptures, and installations across its interior spaces. An adjoining garden features outdoor artworks that extend the exhibition experience beyond the walls.
The museum opened in 1998 within a repurposed church building in the city. A major fire in 2007 destroyed many works, but the institution rebuilt and continues operating today.
The museum is named after the Dutch artist whose works form the core of its collection and connect deeply to the building and its surroundings. Visitors can sense how the artworks are intimately tied to the place itself.
The museum is open most days and welcomes visitors to view artworks in both interior galleries and outdoor spaces. Plan time to explore both areas comfortably and take in the different sections at your own pace.
After the 2007 fire, another artist created a notable installation using salvaged materials and remnants from the damaged collection. This work tells its own story of loss and rebuilding that visitors can still experience today.
