Dordrechts Museum

The Dordrechts Museum, founded in 1842, is one of the oldest museums in the Netherlands. It has an impressive collection of paintings from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, with top pieces by masters such as Aelbert Cuyp, Ary Scheffer, Nicolaes Maes, Ferdinand Bol, the Maris brothers, J.H. Weissenbruch and George Breitner.
It also has a fine collection of modern and contemporary art. In 2010, the museum reopened after a thorough renovation. It was given a new exhibition wing, which forms a charming contrast with the original building, a former mental asylum. From the conservatory or the terrace of the museum restaurant, Art & Dining, you can enjoy the garden with its beautiful old plane trees.
