THE COBRA MOVEMENT

CoBrA was an international movement of young, pioneering artists. In the years following World War II, they caused a revolution: a breakthrough in modern art which has has affected artistic expressions and ideas about art to the present day. As poet and artist Lucebert wrote: The story is so good, that it does not stop’. Read the story here.

CORPORATE EVENTS

You and your colleagues between the CoBrA artworks? That is possible! The Cobra Museum is contemporary and bright, suitable for all your events. The rooms are spacious with a lot of natural light. The constantly changing exhibitions provide colour, inspiration and a pleasant atmosphere. Whether it’s a dinner or gathering of 10 people, a convention for 700 clients or a personal guided tour through the exhibition, we’ve tried to think of everything. No doubt we haven’t, but do not hesitate to provide us with a challenge!
