It was such a beautiful stay in the Netherlands! Though "stay" isn't the right word: after one day in Noordwijk we went to the Veluwe - to visit the famous
"Kröller-Müller Museum".
A "Museum & Sculpture" - including many paintings from van Gogh that I had never seen before (not even in print).
I quote from a brochure: "The Kröller-Müller Museum is the lifework of Helene Kröller-Müller. Between 1907 and 1922, she and her husband Anton Köller bought almost 11,500 works of art (...)." So this is her: Helen Kröller-Müller
Very interesting also the 25-hectare outdoor gallery - with 160 modern sculptures in that garden, though we didn't see very much of that because it rained heavily.
You will know me by now: I enjoyed the surrounding nature, though dripping heavily, as much as the art.
And am a little bit proud of a photo I took through the window:
foxglove before a tree.
It looks so serene there. Add the beautiful artwork amd the peace of the trees and a person could spend a lot of time there.
