Centraal Museum Utrecht, Utrecht
Posted by: Centraal Museum Utrecht
As the oldest municipal museum of the Netherlands, the Centraal Museum demonstrates for centuries that Utrecht has been a breeding ground for artistic and cultural talent.
The Centraal Museum possesses the world's largest collection of Rietveld designs and has a permanent exhibition of work by Dick Bruna. Another collection definitely worth seeing is the old masters collection. Among the highlights are works by Saenredam, Van Scorel and the Utrecht Caravaggists, including Ter Brugghen and Van Honthorst. Besides works by these iconic figures from Utrecht, the Centraal Museum provides a historical overview of the past 2000 turbulent years, as well as focusing on contemporary collections of fashion, design and fine arts.

De Pont, Tilburg
Posted by: De Pont
The museum has been named after the attorney and businessman Jan de Pont (1915-1987), whose estate provided for the establishment of a foundation to stimulate contemporary visual art. De Pont is housed in a former wool-spinning mill that was transformed into a highly acclaimed building for modern art.
Since its opening in 1992, De Pont has developed into one of Holland's leading museums of contemporary art. In addition to changing presentations of its own collection, which includes key works by Tacita Dean, Marlene Dumas, Roni Horn, Sigmar Polke, Thomas Schütte, Fiona Tan and Luc Tuymans, three exhibitions are held every year, each one focussing on the work of one artist and lasting about four months. Special presentations take place in the project space, and the auditorium offers a program of lectures, music and film.

Posted by: Manifesta
Manifesta, the roving European Biennial of Contemporary art, changes its location every two years. Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often seen as the dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography.
Each Manifesta biennial aims to investigate and reflect on emerging developments in contemporary art, set within a European context. In doing so, we present local, national and international audiences with new aspects and forms of artistic expression.

Metropolis M is a non-profit bilingual magazine on contemporary art. It is a commentator on new developments in art and culture, which it tries to put in perspective through critical discussion. Metropolis M likes to position its discourse halfway between the powerful German and Anglo-American critical traditons and the philosophical leanings in the south - of Belgium and France.
At the crossroads of artistic, cultural, and critical discourse Metropolis M can present beautiful panoramas which at times are insightful, clearing things up, and at other times, just a happy jumble.

Mister Motley, Amsterdam
Posted by: Mister Motley
Mister Motley is a full color, quarterly, magazine about contemporary art for people from 20 till 42 years old. Every issue has a theme. We have made issues about 'street life', 'family' and 'folk art', but we also work with more abstract themes such as ‘about death’ or ‘magic’.
Mister Motley has an inspiring, subversive but also strongly informative voice. The magazine inspires the readers to actively be a part of the website-issues: they can mail their own images to the website and have fun with the artists-made assignments placed on the website.

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.
