Museum Cobra
Het Cobra Museum stelt de kunst en het gedachtegoed van de Cobra-beweging centraal. Het belang van een alternatieve cultuur, gebaseerd op internationale solidariteit en creativiteit, is in onze huidige wereld belangrijker dan ooit. Het Cobra Museum verbindt de collectie en de geschiedenis van Cobra dan ook actief aan hedendaagse kunstenaars, moderne kunststromingen en de actualiteit. Het Cobra Museum voor Moderne Kunst opende haar deuren op 8 november 1995, als verwijzing naar de oprichtingsdatum van de CoBrA beweging op 8 november 1948. Architect Wim Quist ontwierp het gebouw. English: The Cobra Museum focuses on the art and ideas of the Cobra movement. The importance of alternative culture, based on international solidarity and creativity, is more meaningful than ever before. The Cobra Museum, therefore actively links the collection and the history of Cobra to contemporary artists, modern art movements and current events.
