Kröller-Müller Museum

Lonely Planet review

Nestled within the Netherlands' largest park, this delightful museum was once owned by Anton and Helene Kröller-Müller, a wealthy German-Dutch couple. He wanted hunting grounds, she wanted a museum site - they got both.

The museum has works by Picasso, Gris, Renoir, Sisley and Manet, but it's the Van Gogh collection that makes it world-class. It's about 10km into the park. There's also an evocative sculpture garden behind the museum.

Ticket booths at each of the three entrances (Hoenderloo, Otterlo and Rijzenburg) provide basic information and useful maps. By car, take the A10 ring road to the A1 towards Amersfoort and Apeldoorn. Exit at Exit 19 (N304) and follow the signs. Trains to Apeldoorn (single/return around €13 /around €23 .10) take just over one hour, plus a 20-minute bus ride from the train station into the park.
