The Bonnefanten museum tells stories through the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions and guided tours. With that, the museum offers its visitors meaningful, aesthetic, educational and cultural experiences.

    The Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht offers visitors a diverse collection of art spanning from the medieval period to contemporary works. Located in a striking modern building designed by Aldo Rossi, the museum itself is an architectural attraction. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, and installations from both Dutch and international artists.

    Visitors often appreciate the museum's well-curated exhibitions, which frequently rotate to showcase different aspects of its permanent collection and temporary exhibits. The museum is particularly noted for its strong representation of contemporary art, especially from the Limburg region and neighboring countries.

    Many reviewers highlight the spacious and well-lit galleries, which provide an excellent environment for viewing art. The top floor, with its distinctive cupola, offers panoramic views of Maastricht and the Meuse River, adding to the overall experience.

    However, some visitors find the museum's layout a bit confusing, and occasionally mention that more detailed information about the artworks would be helpful. A few reviewers also note that the contemporary art sections may not appeal to everyone's tastes.

    The museum's café receives positive mentions for its pleasant atmosphere and view, though some find it a bit pricey. The gift shop offers a good selection of art books and souvenirs.

    Overall, the Bonnefanten Museum is generally well-regarded for its interesting mix of old masters and contemporary art, making it a worthwhile destination for art enthusiasts visiting Maastricht.

    Zo jammer dat bijna alle vaste collectie zalen gesloten waren. De tijdelijke tentoonstellingen vond ik bizar. Dat is natuurlijk een kwestie van smaak. Het museum deed wat onverzorgd en ontoegankelijk aan. Onduidelijke aanduidingen waar je wat kon vinden. Jammer! Annemarie Hermanns

    Vandaag de grote overzichtsexpositie van David Lynch bezocht in het Bonnefanten/Maastricht. Zoals iedereen ken ik Lynch vooral van Twin Peaks en van de prachtige ontroerende film The Elephant Man. Maar Lynch is in de eerste plaats beeldend kunstenaar en dan pas cineast. Zijn bizarre ideeën komen in zijn films wel tot uiting. Lynch heeft toch wel een ‘twisted mind’. Ik zie in hem Francis Bacon en ook wel een beetje Joseph Beuys terug. Twee kunstenaars die ik niet echt ‘umwerfend’ vind en dat geldt ook voor Lynch. Het absurdistische en extreem surrealisme van Lynch, nee ik heb er niet zo veel mee. Ik bekijk het dan vooral esthetisch en mooi kan ik zijn werk, op een paar uitzonderingen na niet noemen (en dan laat ik een paar mooie films buiten beschouwing). Lynch is zijn leven lang gefascineerd door de vierde dimensie. Hij wil het ongeziene zichtbaar maken vanuit zijn eigen bizarre fantasie en droomwereld. Elektriciteit is voor hem een metafoor, een weg waarlangs zaken uit de vierde dimensie onze wereld binnendringen. Echt mooi in dat verband vind ik zijn zwart-wit foto’s, bijvoorbeeld van een geknapte stroomdraad, of de door hem ontworpen lampen. Mooi of niet: het is in ieder geval wel authentiek en dat maakt zijn werk bij vlagen wel weer boeiend.
