Museum Villa Mondriaan

Piet Mondrian’s geometric, primary colored compositions are internationally acclaimed, but his artistic journey began quietly in Winterswijk, a small town in the east of the Netherlands. Mondrian lived here with his family between the ages of eight and 20, a seminal period during which he discovered his passion for drawing and painting. This former home now serves as the basis of the Museum Villa Mondriaan, which features a permanent display of Mondrian’s more traditional early works alongside semi-annual exhibitions that expand the narrative around the Dutch painter and connect his journey to other artists navigating turbulent periods of growth. Close collaboration with the Kunstmuseum in The Hague, home to one of the largest collections of Mondrian’s works in the world, allows for the display of iconic works from his oeuvre on long-term loan.
