\nThe development of modern sculpture is the perfect occasion to visit the Kr\u00f6ller-M\u00fcller. For the first time ever, the museum tells the story of the modern sculpture collection, seen through the eyes of Bram Hammacher, director of the museum from 1948 to 1963.<\/p>\n
Immediately upon his appointment, Hammacher chooses a new direction: seeking to document the development of modern sculpture at an international level. Hammacher succeeds in bringing together a collection of sculptures that gives the museum a unique \u2018profile\u2019. Bold and exceptional, because at that time, there were very few major museums with an emphasis on sculpture.<\/p>\n
Hammacher makes his mark on the collection with work by world-renowned artists such as Jean Arp, Barbara Hepworth, Jacques Lipchitz, Marino Marini, Henry Moore, Auguste Rodin and Ossip Zadkine.<\/p>\n
Hammacher\u2019s ultimate dream is the creation of a sculpture garden. That dream is realized in 1961: the garden is opened to widespread international interest. The concept, a labyrinthine garden in which nature and sculpture are regarded as equal, is completely new and revolutionary at the time. As of that moment, the Kr\u00f6ller-M\u00fcller became one of the most important international museums for modern sculpture.<\/p>\n
A visit to The beginning of a new world is great to combine with a visit to De Hoge Veluwe National Park. Come for a picnic in the sculpture garden, enjoy the outdoor restaurant and then take a free white bicycle for a trip through the park. All the ingredients for a wonderful holiday are right there!<\/p>\n
