museum, interesting place
The Bonnefanten Museum can be found in Maastricht, The Netherlands and is the foremost museum for old masters and contemporary fine art in the province of Limburg. The museum is housed in a building designed by the Italian architect Aldo Rossi. It is sometimes considered as an example of postmodern architecture and, along with the Cupola on the River Maas, it is one of Maastricht's most prominent landmarks.
The presence of two different departments under the same roof gives the Bonnefanten Museum its own individual character. The department of old masters is located on the first floor and displays highlights of Flemish painting from the 16th and 17th centuries. Exhibited on the same floor is the Neutelings collection, early Italian painting and an entrancing presentation of Maastricht silver. Prominent artists of American minimalist art and Italian Arte Povera form the basis of the collection of contemporary art on the second floor. The collection is also remarkable for its large ensembles and room-size installations by younger artists. On the third floor, the presentation ‘Forms of Affinity’ concentrates in detail on the oeuvre of Aldo Rossi.
