Singer Laren Museum

About

Singer Laren is a unique cultural heritage with an American cultural heritage in private ownership. It consists of a beautiful boutique museum, theater, historical villa and a Piet Oudolf sculpture garden. Museum Singer Laren has a surprising and diverse collection of international visual art from the period 1880 to 1950. This ‘classic modern’ collection has given the museum the freedom to set up a wide exhibition policy. This collection was set up by the American couple Anna and William Singer, who received many friends in their villa in Laren. There were often artists among these friends. Anna and William themselves were also creatively talented. Anna played the piano and William painted. Together, they have collected an impressive art collection. Anna had the museum built after the death of her husband William. The Singer Laren sculpture garden designed by Piet Oudolf opened in June 2018. The garden contains sculptures by contemporary Dutch artists.
