Kunsthal KAdE

Kunsthal KAdE is Amersfoort's museum for contemporary and modern art—a name that literally means 'Art on the Eem'—housed in the sleek Eemhuis building just outside the old city walls. True to its Dutch spelling, 'kijken en denken' (looking and thinking) sit side by side here: the curators set out to let you enjoy the work on its visual appeal alone, without needing a handbook of theory to decode it. There is no permanent collection on display, and that is the point. Freed from a fixed mandate, Kunsthal KAdE stages around three major exhibitions a year—bold solo shows, thematic group displays and surveys of art-historical movements—drawing roughly 400 national and international artists through its doors over the past decade.
