News from the Van Abbemuseum

Renovations, closures, and free entry!

The Van Abbemuseum is undergoing a major transformation in 2026! 

The museum is turning 90, and we’re celebrating with a new collection presentation, Collection as Cosmos, as well as a completely renewed Van Abbe café and ticketing area. Because of this, we will be renovating between 23 March and 5 June 2026. 

In the autumn, we will also redesign the outdoor area to create a green space where nature and culture come together.

What can you see and when?

  • From 16 April 2026: The exhibition Radically Mine! opens on 16 April at Salon Veneman (Tongelresestraat 1, Eindhoven) and will later travel to Eindhoven City Hall.
