The Cobra Museum of Modern Art has a permanent collection of key works by artists from the Cobra period. Probably the most well-known Dutch Cobra artist is Karel Appel. The works of the Cobra artists are exhibited simultaneously with interesting temporary collections of modern and contemporary art.
Cobra movement
The word Cobra is derived from the city names of Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam, which is where the artists who founded the CoBrA group were from. The CoBrA painters drew their inspiration from children’s drawings, primitive art forms like tribal masks and art by the mentally disabled. Their favoured subjects included animals and fantasy creatures.
Inspiring space
Inside the beautiful Cobra Museum building designed by Dutch architect, Wim Quist, the daylight, space and 'touch' of nature create a positive atmosphere for viewing the art. The Museum houses has a major collection of key works by artists of the CoBrA group as well as work by their Dutch contemporaries, including artists of the Vrij Beelden and Creatie movements.
