The Mondrian House (Mondriaanhuis) is the museum dedicated to the life and work of Piet Mondrian, one of the founders of abstract art, born in Amersfoort in 1872. Located in his birth home, the Mondrian House is a fundamental stop for those who love modern art and the De Stijl movement.
The museum offers an immersive and multimedia experience that tells the artistic and personal journey of Mondrian: from his naturalistic beginnings to the evolution towards pure abstraction made of lines and primary colors. Interactive installations and audiovisual content allow visitors to literally enter the artist's world, including a faithful reconstruction of his famous studio in New York.
The Mondrian House does not exhibit original works, but offers an innovative way to discover his poetics, with temporary exhibitions related to the legacy of modernism and Mondrian's influence on contemporary art, design, and architecture.
Perfectly located in the historic center of Amersfoort, the house-museum is suitable for all ages and ideal for art enthusiasts, schools, or tourists looking for inspiration. The museum also houses a bookshop and a cafeteria overlooking a peaceful inner courtyard.
Visiting the Mondrian House is a journey into the heart of Dutch abstractionism and the geometric vision of an artist who changed the history of art.
