The Kröller-Müller Museum is delighted to have received a significant contribution from the VriendenLoterij. A very generous cheque from the VriendenLoterij was presented last week. The amount of no less than €9,336,246 will be divided pro rata among four beneficiaries: the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, the Mauritshuis and the Kröller-Müller Museum.

The VriendenLoterij enables the museum to make acquisitions. This year's acquisitions include a number of works that will be on display in the exhibition The Wood for the Trees from 23 March, including The Settlement (Indoor) by Hans op de Beeck and three Auguries by Andy Holden.
