Museum Belvédère

The sleek museum building was designed by Eerde Schippers of Inbo architects from Heerenveen. The building is intimately connected to the landscape and art. The dark basalt facade almost disappears against the trunks of the trees in the museum park. Only the two openings of the entrance and the restaurant light up. The relief in the facade subtly refers to the parceled meadow landscape.The building was built across the water of the Prinsenwijk, which was laid out in the eighteenth century as a Grand Canal by the (garden) architect Daniel Marot. The museum café is situated above the water, an almost transparent space between the two museum wings. It offers a panoramic view of Landgoed Oranjewoud, the former country residence of the Oranje-Nassau family.museumbelvedere.nl
