VESTALIA - EXCLUSIVE GUIDED TOUR
12.06.26
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.

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.
