The Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI) is more than a museum of architecture. It is above all a cultural institute which is open to the public and which uses a variety of methods for communicating about the shaping of human space.
The NAI produces exhibitions, organizes debates and lectures, conducts research and implements world-class educational programmes. It also boasts an unrivalled architecture archive and library both of which are open to everyone. The NAI informs, inspires and stimulates a broad public: live at our headquarters, but also internationally and digitally. The NAI encourages wide-spread recognition of the role architecture can play in addressing the major issues of our day.

Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven
Posted by: Van Abbemuseum
The Van Abbemuseum is one of the first public museums for contemporary art to be established in Europe. The museum’s collection of around 2700 works of art includes key works and archives by Lissitzky, Picasso, Kokoschka, Chagall, Beuys, McCarthy, Daniëls and Körmeling.
The museum has an experimental approach towards art’s role in society. We challenge ourselves and our visitors to think about art and its place in the world, covering a range of subjects, including the role of the collection as a cultural 'memory' and the museum as a public site. International collaboration and exchange have made the Van Abbemuseum a place for creative cross-fertilisation and a source of surprise, inspiration and imagination for its visitors and participants.
