Review of Van Abbemuseum

Established in 1936 and since extended with a new wing, this was one of the first museums in Holland to devote itself entirely to contemporary art. It got its start due to local cigar manufacturer Henri van Abbe, who donated his collection of paintings to the city. Look for works by Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondriaan (Mondrian), Marc Chagall, Theo van Doesburg, and other big names in modern art. The work of acquisition continues, and the museum has frequent temporary exhibits of leading-edge art.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
