Sculpture garden of the Kröller-Müller Museum

The garden extends across 25 hectares of land, displaying over 200 modern sculptures integrated with natural landscapes and walking paths throughout the grounds.

The sculpture garden opened in 1961 under curator Hammacher's direction, establishing a comprehensive collection of modern sculptural art from historic masters to contemporary artists.

The garden features works by international artists including Jean Arp's Cloud Shepherd and Henry Moore's Two-piece reclining figure II placed on brick pedestals.

The garden remains open year-round, though certain sculptures receive protective covers or removal during winter months from November through March for preservation.

Two architectural pavilions from the 1960s, designed by Aldo van Eyck and Gerrit Rietveld, stand among the sculptures throughout the garden grounds.
