Groninger Museum 150 jaar

In 2024, the Groninger Museum will be 150 years old and architect Alessandro Mendini’s building 30 years old, and we would like to celebrate this with you! Since its opening 150 years ago in a little room with a small collection of ‘curiosities’, the Groninger Museum has grown into a place you come to for striking exhibitions and special collections. In the anniversary exhibition Behind the Scenes, we tell you more about our art, design and heritage collections and about the museum in practice.

What is involved in setting up an exhibition? In the exhibition Groninger Museum 150 years – Behind the Scenes, you get a look behind the scenes of the museum. It features – besides Vincent van Gogh’s Spring Garden – many more beautiful collection pieces by Anton Corbijn, Iris van Herpen, Jeff Koons, Alessandro Mendini, Odilon Redon and Peter Paul Rubens, among others.
