About Lisser Art Museum
The Architectural Elegance of Lisser Art Museum
Nestled in the historical Keukenhof-park, KVDK Architects unveiled the Lisser Art Museum (LAM). This architectural marvel seemingly emerges from the dense foliage surrounding it.
Design and Materialization
The museum boasts two distinct volumes: a ground-level structure embedded in the dike and a ‘floating’ upper volume. Earth-toned Petersen bricks dominate its exterior, presenting a subdued, monolithic facade.
A Grand Entrance
Upon approach, a glass curtain wall opens up the dike core, offering an inviting gesture. Stepping inside, visitors experience the sensation of being within a dike. A terracotta-hued brick floor ushers guests between rugged dark stone walls, guiding them toward the embrace of daylight.
The LAM Experience
LAM stands as a testament to ‘food & consumption art’, a tribute to its founders, the VandenBroek Foundation of the Dutch supermarket chain ‘Dirk’. The journey commences at the museum’s pinnacle. From there, guests meander downwards, drifting seamlessly through each exhibition space. This fluid motion offers varying daylight exposures and uninterrupted landscape vistas, ensuring art and park remain intertwined.
