Added in early 2002 as the second main pillar of the Kunstsammlung and accommodating contemporary art was the Ständehaus am Kaiserteich, until 1988 the seat of the Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia. Four wings with continuous arcades surround the building’s central public area, a spacious plaza. The creative treatment of this representative building in the Historicist style (1876-80) by the Munich architectural office of Kiessler + Partner created a modern museum building with a striking glaze domed roof which shapes the building’s aesthetic and at the same time spans an expansive sculpture garden located on the uppermost level. Together, a flexible hall for temporary exhibitions in the ground floor level and the upper galleries comprise more than 5300 m² of surface area. Installations and artist’s rooms are an important focus of the Kunstsammlung, an area which has been expanded continuously in recent years.

The Amersfoort Wall Houses were built on top of the first city wall foundations. In 1380, its economic growth forced Amersfoort to grow, requiring a new city wall to be built. The stones of the first city wall were then used to construct these houses. These buildings were all built in different periods, which makes a walk along the houses unique.

The Mondriaan House is the birth house of the famous Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan. The ground floor of the house details the development of the painter, the person, his art, and his life. On the first floor, you can visit temporary exhibitions of contemporary artists whose work reflects that of Mondriaan or who draw inspiration from his work.
