KIDS WORKSHOP – Dreams at the Garden

The Van Buuren Museum and its gardens are as sumptuous as they are mysterious. Rumor has it that a mythological picnic is set to take place here very soon! To make it happen, we need to gather a team of curious explorers to organize it. Together, we will set off to discover the grounds, the hidden life forms nesting within them, and the artworks that inhabit thespace, in order to unveil their secrets. Here and there, we will find materials to create a large picnic blanket using cyanotype, as well as magical ingredients to prepare our own food. On the final day, we will share this feast together in this enchanting garden.

12.06.26

As part of the Vestalia festival, the Van Buuren Museum & Gardens is organising an exclusive guided tour.

Over the course of an hour, you will discover the inner workings of a place quite unlike any other. How does one preserve a house-museum whose furniture, carpets, stained glass and paintings form an inseparable whole? What choices lie behind an arrangement, a restoration?
The visit then continues into the gardens, tracing their history from Jules Buyssens to René Pechère, and exploring the questions their upkeep raises today.

A Journey Through Time

A couple
in a Movement
Built in 1928, David van Buuren’s house presents an Amsterdam School exterior and an Art Deco interior by renowned decorators from Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. With original rare furniture, carpets, stained glass, sculptures, and paintings from the 16th through to the 20th centuries, it retains the feel of a private home. The gardens, designed by Jules Buyssens in the 1920s and René Pechère in the 1960s, include the Regular, Picturesque and Rose Gardens, as well as the Labyrinth and the Heart Garden, making it an ideal place for strolling and reflection.
