Searching for Meaning

Kröller-Müller Museum

  • Address:

    Houtkampweg 6

Searching for meaning was the driving force behind Helene Kröller-Müller’s personal life and her collection. Throughout the collection, you can follow her journey as she encounters artists and movements, philosophy and spirituality. Her destination was a museum as a centre for spiritual life, set in the tranquillity of nature. Searching for Meaning is an exhibition that inspires and invites contemporary philosophizing about life and art.
