Villa Mondriaan, the home of a world icon in the making – Lecture Caroline Schuurman

May 2023 marks the tenth anniversary of the opening of Museum Villa Mondriaan. That the museum was not there overnight is well known, but what preceded it? How do you actually start a museum? Caroline Schuurman tells in her lecture about everything that was involved. We find out more about the people who found each other in their love for art and who made a strong commitment to keep Piet Mondriaan’s legacy alive in Winterswijk. She tells about the various initiatives that came about, such as the Mondrian House Foundation, the Mondriaan Winterswijk Foundation and eventually Villa Mondriaan.

Dining at the venue: at the table of Nel Schellekens

To mark the 10th anniversary of Museum Villa Mondriaan, ‘head to toe chef’ Nel Schellekens is providing a unique, culinary experience. Entirely tailored to the works of art by the young Piet Mondrian, Schellekens created a tasting menu for Villa Mondriaan. Champagne, hay and oranges: all the flavours and aromas can be traced back to the world-famous painter’s depiction and material. Stroll through the museum and enjoy all the special dishes! The dishes suffice as a full dinner and are served with about three drinks. The price of €60 includes museum admission. After dinner, there will be an opportunity to have a drink in the museum café.
