Dommelplein

A newly conceived ground floor at Van Abbemuseum where art unfolds through daily rituals, encounters, conversations, workshops, and meditation. About Our ground floor is more than a place to begin your visit. Here, art unfolds through daily rituals, encounters, conversations, workshops, play, meditation, and quiet moments alike. Feel free to move at your own pace. Join an activity, sit down for a while, or simply observe what is happening around you. This is a space for everyone—an invitation to connect with the works, with others, with the river, and with the celestial—before you enter our Collection as Cosmos. We invite you to spend time here, return often, and make the space your own. Dommelplein will be brought to life through ongoing activation by its cross-generational community of city users and constituencies, alongside the museum's in-house choir, dedicated hosts and guides, and volunteers.
