Rebel in Arnhem

Although I've mentioned it on the blog before, this past sunday I made my way to Arnhem for a meeting and a tour of the Museum of Modern Art; also known as MMKA. While I had long heard that this place existed and was interesting to see, I was still surprised with how beautiful it is. Inside and outisde.


Inside MMKA is not overwhelming yet it isn't so small that you're done in an hour. Between the exhibit, entitled Rebelle Art and Feminism 1969-2009 and the permanent collection, there were plenty of pieces that had me laughing, confused, impressed, disgusted, and often - in awe.

Beyond the fantastic art, MMKA also hits you with a beautiful garden. A garden located on top of one of those Arnhem hills overlooking the river, a beautiful green landscape the likes of which you don't normally get to see in the Netherlands. You can sit out there looking down at the river and taking in the scenery while enjoying the mind numbingly good brownies from the museum café. I may take the 1 hour 30 minute ride back very soon just to do it again.
