Cobra Museum, Modern art museum in Amstelveen, Netherlands
Cobra Museum in Amstelveen displays experimental paintings, sculptures, and installations with natural lighting spread across two floors. The spaces are generously designed to allow visitors to engage fully with each work.
The museum was founded in 1995 to preserve works from an art movement that began in 1948 when artists from Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam joined forces. This group introduced a fresh approach that departed from established art traditions.
The museum displays works that reflect a movement focused on expressive, colorful art forms created by artists seeking emotional impact. Visitors can sense throughout the exhibitions the artists' passion for bold colors and direct forms of human expression.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and can be reached easily by public transport. Plan enough time to explore all exhibitions across both floors at a comfortable pace.
The grounds include a Japanese zen garden designed by a renowned artist. The garden is maintained monthly with carefully arranged patterns that blend seamlessly with the building.
