Museum Arnhem is the city's main fine art museum, housed in a mix of an original Art Nouveau villa and a modern glass extension set within Sonsbeek Park on the edge of the city centre. The permanent collection focuses on modern and contemporary Dutch art, with particular strengths in landscape painting, applied arts, and post-war Dutch modernism. Temporary exhibitions typically bring in work from national and international artists.
The setting in the park is one of the museum's best features — the glass-walled spaces look directly into the trees, and the grounds immediately outside host sculpture installations that change periodically. The museum is a short walk from the Korenmarkt along the park edge. Combined with a walk through Sonsbeek Park itself, this makes for a pleasant half-afternoon.
