You're standing by the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, on the bank of the river Dommel. It opened in 1936 and was one of the first public museums for contemporary art in Europe. Start with the old part: red brick, strictly symmetrical, with a little tower above the entrance. Architect Kropholler wanted visitors to leave the noise of the city behind them.
