Museum Kranenburgh

Museum Kranenburgh is an art museum in Bergen housing contemporary works and paintings from the movement that developed in this North Holland town. The collection spans multiple artistic styles and periods, reflecting how the region influenced creative practice.

The building was constructed as a manor house in 1882 as an example of Dutch architectural style of that era. It was later converted into a museum to preserve the artistic works and heritage of the region.

The building name comes from the old manor house where it is housed. Inside you find paintings by artists who chose to live and work in Bergen, drawn to its light and landscape.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and sits in the town center, easily reached on foot. Plan for about two hours to explore the galleries at a relaxed pace.

The museum runs collaborative projects with working artists in the region and offers hands-on workshops where visitors can create art themselves. This active connection to the local art community transforms a visit into a participatory experience.
