Source

From the historical house in the center of Maastricht, Marres explores contemporary art in the widest possible sense. The museum was founded in 1998 and takes its name from the brewers’ family Marres that lived in the house in the twentieth century. Marres develops a new vocabulary for the senses in collaboration with artists, musicians, designers, and performers. Offering a large public garden and a wonderful restaurant, Marres is also a meeting place for everyone.
