Chabot Museum

Discover the Chabot Museum Rotterdam

The Chabot Museum Click to open side panel for more information is an intimate art museum located in a striking modernist villa within the Museumpark in Rotterdam. Dedicated to the work of Dutch painter and sculptor Henk Chabot (1894-1949), the museum provides a serene setting to explore expressionist art through the lens of one of the country’s most significant pre- and post-war artists.

• Architectural Significance: The museum is housed in a white, monumental villa designed in 1938 by architects Baas and Stokla, representing a prime example of the “New Objectivity” style with its clean lines and open, light-filled spaces.
• The Collection: The permanent collection features Chabot’s powerful expressionist paintings, drawings, and sculptures, often focusing on themes of the Dutch landscape, farmers, and the impact of the Second World War.
• Atmosphere: Unlike larger galleries, this museum offers a quiet, personal experience where the architecture and the art complement each other, overlooking the lush greenery of the surrounding park.
• Rotating Exhibitions: In addition to Chabot’s work, the museum frequently hosts temporary exhibitions that connect his legacy with contemporary artists or other expressionist contemporaries.
