It is a beautiful Spring day and you feel like going to the museum...ah..I wanted to see this…read morepalace and the gardens for some time already. It is located in a beautiful woods and has a great adjacent park. You start with parking close to the stables and car garages. If you feel like already having a small break maybe you can check the restaurant/ cafe which is located in the old garage. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads, soups and sweets. You can enjoy your break on a nice terrace. If you are already up for it you can start your walk to the palace and the gardens. It will take you about 7 minutes to walk through a really nice alley to the main palace. It is a very big palace. Both wings of the palace host different types of exhibitions. Currently there is Sisi exhibition in one wing and orders in another. Sisi's exhibition was very nice, informative and nicely done. Order exhibition...ah...they make orders they give those to each other...not something that gets much of my attention. Our journey to the main palace started. You go thorugh floors and see different bedrooms, sitting rooms, writing rooms of princes, princesses and the regent queen. I really loved all the different styles of the rooms. You can see rooms in the decor from 17 - 18 century, from 19th century, but also from the 50 of 20th century. Really impressive. I am sure you could just stroll around a lot longer..but the park invites you.. If the weather is great just take your time and stroll through this beautiful park and adjacent forest. On your way back to your car be sure to check the stables and the garages. It is a great museum, little bit off the main route, but definitely worth visiting. I decided to give 4 instead of 5 stars, as I found parking fee, 5 euro on a higher side and there was not sufficient information about the exhibits.

I do not, however, recommend taking this tour with a toddler! It's a tad too contemplative a stop for the under-five set. The gardens were great for running and exploring, though. This is a place I hope to return to someday (alone), perhaps for one of their special exhibitions.

I've been to The Netherlands well over 20 times. And visited tons of museums here. But I wasn't…read moreaware of this museum until recently. I had lunch with some friends and they suggested that I come here for the afternoon. It's museum based on modern art that's called realism, and it's definitely not for everyone. But it's beautifully displayed and the exhibits are here today are fascinating. In this Covid time it does require proof of vaccination to enter, and the costs are basically $20 per person. There is free parking behind the museum and it seemed fairly easy. This is located in very cute town and also is well worth some time walking around.

If you are a fan of Mondrian or his contemporaries, this is not to be missed! It gives a fair view…read moreof his life as both a person and an artist. This museum is located in his actual house of birth, in the historic city of Amersfoort. It houses a replica of his Parisian studio. Apart from this, the Mondriaanhuis also exhibits different collections that have a relationship with the famous Piet Mondrian. Tip of advise: combine this museum with a visit to both the historic city center of Amersfoort and the KAdE museum of contempary art. A day well spent!

If you're a fan of Mondriaan, as I am, you will enjoy this museum for its gift shop, its replica of…read moreMondriaan's New York City apartment, and for its location in Amersfoort. Beyond that, there actually isn't much to see here, unfortunately. They have one small Mondriaan painting that you would not know (trust me), along with many artifacts of his life, including letters, photos and books. The gift shop features many nice Mondriaan and other books that were very tempting. And the replica of the apartment is a nice representation of the desired lifestyle of a genius artist in the early 20th century. The city of Amersfoort itself was a nice bonus to my visit. It's a pretty little town with plenty of cafes and shops to add interest to your time here. A great lazy day adventure. PS - be prepared to lock up your purse in their little lockers. They apparently had some vandalism recently and don't trust anyone!
