Chabot Museum, Art museum in Museum Quarter, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Description
The Chabot Museum occupies a white modernist villa built in 1938 and displays paintings and sculptures by Dutch expressionist artist Hendrik Chabot. The building maintains its residential character with clean geometric lines and offers an intimate setting for viewing the artworks.
History
The museum opened in 1993 inside what is known as Kraaijeveld House and presents works from the Schortemeijer collection. The artworks document Rotterdam during World War II and reflect how expressionism of that era captured conflict and recovery.
Culture
The artworks in the collection feature scenes of everyday working people, from farmers to gardeners, alongside powerful depictions of wartime suffering and resilience. These subjects reflect how Dutch expressionists saw and responded to the world around them during this period.
Practical
The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday, with group tours available for up to 15 people by advance reservation. Visitors should allow time to explore both the indoor galleries and the garden surrounding the villa property.
