Keermuren Grote Museum, Retaining wall near Kröller-Müller Museum, Netherlands.
The Keermuren Grote Museum consists of unfinished retaining walls designed as the foundation for an art museum. These structures stand near the current Kroller-Muller Museum location and are now protected as a national monument.
Architect Henry Van de Velde designed this ambitious museum project for collector Anton Kroller in 1921. Construction stopped in 1922 due to financial troubles, after which the museum was eventually built at a different site.
The walls form a backdrop for modern sculptures displayed nearby, including works by Henry Moore. They create a setting where visitors can experience art within a natural landscape framework.
The walls run along Houtkampweg and are easily accessible from the Kroller-Muller Museum. Wear comfortable shoes as the site has some uneven ground in places.
A narrow-gauge railway called 'Geitenlijntje' was built to haul construction materials to the site. This practical solution reveals how workers adapted to moving heavy loads across the landscape.
