The LAM museum is simply special. We’re down-to-earth people who don’t like fuss. In many ways, our approach differs from other museums. But that’s exactly how we make your visit extra special.
A simply special collection
All the works of art at the LAM museum have a connection with food, drink and shopping. You know, the things you consume or do most days. It may sound ordinary but wait until you experience our extraordinary collection. Did we mention it’s the largest food art collection in the world?
Simply special Viewing Coaches
The LAM museum loves giving its visitors lots of personal attention. It’s what sets us apart from other museums. Our Viewing Coaches are simply special people, like me and you. They provide personalised tips and tell tales that bring works of art to life. They are also keen to hear what you’ve discovered or how the art has inspired or impacted you.
TRULY FOR ALL AGES
There’s no age limit to perception and perspective; in fact, there are no limits to anything. We know that art comes to life when the whole family experiences it together. That’s why our museum is a happy, multigenerational LAM-ily.
You decide who pays
At LAM, you can opt for standard tickets or sponsored tickets. A standard ticket allows you to support the arts and sponsor another visitor. A sponsored ticket lets you visit the museum for free. No catch, no fine print. We just want to be here for everyone.
Special architecture
Made of natural materials, the LAM museum building is an architectural gem and worth a visit in its own right. Follow the public path and come face to face with the building’s open design and large windows. The views from inside the museum are also spectacular.
A special setting
Located at the heart of the leafy Keukenhof Estate, the LAM museum looks stunning in all seasons. Have a stroll around the estate or through the nearby Keukenhof forest before or after your visit. Mmm… can you smell that? It must be the delicious food and drinks served by Restaurant de Hofboerderij, a couple of minutes’ walk from the LAM museum.
Special neighbours
The LAM museum is in the middle of the bulb region — tulip land! If you visit us in early spring, you’ll be able to admire Keukenhof’s world-famous bulb fields from the museum.
A simply special tip
We may be the only museum on the planet to tell you this: don’t bother looking at all our works of art. Instead, pick a couple and just contemplate. An hour should be enough, but most visitors stay a bit longer. You’ll leave the LAM museum feeling energised and overflowing with new ideas. You’re more than welcome to return — we even have sponsored tickets!
CHOOSE YOUR DAY AND START TIME IN ADVANCE
Giving you all the time and attention you deserve
Choose your day and start time in advance. Then simply turn up at the time of arrival on your ticket, and we’ll give you all the time and attention you deserve.
A regular visitor? Or want to try before you buy? Perhaps you can’t afford a ticket. Whatever the situation, our sponsored tickets make the LAM museum accessible to all.
The LAM museum’s collection includes 3D images, art installations, paintings, sound art and digital art. That sounds like a lot (it is!). But there’s method in the madness: each work focuses on food, drink or shopping. Did we mention the LAM museum has the world’s largest collection of food art?
The LAM museum adds spice and sparkle to every visit. Ready for a brain-teasing picture hunt or a fun game? Can you get a full house on your own personal bingo card? Or maybe you want to tingle your tastebuds? Our surprise activities are designed to change not only your perspective on the art you see but also on the life you live.
The LAM museum’s Viewing Coaches bring every work of art to life and make every visitor’s experience special.
They give you tips. They help you change your perspective. And they are ready to listen if you want to talk about what you’ve discovered or how the art has inspired or impacted you.
Zo leuk. Mooi gebouw onder architectuur, gevarieerd aanbod, lekker fleurig. Ik blijf mij positief verrassen. Ga hier vaker heen. Aansluitend met een wandeling door het bos.
Goed museum van 'Dirk' over.... (ik zal het niet verklappen) past ook niet in de stijl van het museum. Geen infobordjes aan de muren, maar met de aardige kijkcoaches kom je een eind. Start met de lift omhoog naar de derde etage en loop rustig terug. Prima. Er is geen horeca. Maar vlakbij is er het cafetaria van kasteel Keukenhof.
Wat een verrassing! En zulke fijne gezellige hosts waar je een heerlijk gesprek over kunst mee kan aangaan en die echt geïnteresseerd in je zijn en tijd voor je hebben! Aanrader, we gaan zeker weer n keer mini vakantie-een (ook voor t gebouw en de omgeving: dikke aanrader).
Prachtig modern gebouw met veel licht. Een heldere uitleg bij binnenkomst over de collectie en de unieke wijze waarop bezoekers antwoord kunnen krijgen op vragen. Op de verschillende verdiepingen waren kijkcoaches die enthousiast en kundig uitleg gaven. Een aanrader.
Geweldig leuk museum! Geen hoogdraverij, maar aansprekende eigentijdse kunstwerken die je verrassen en intrigeren. Prima app om meer te weten te komen over de kunstwerken. Maar nog leuker is het om in gesprek te raken met de verschillende enthousiaste medewerkers die overal rondlopen. Als je de tijd hebt kun je hier makkelijk 1 a 2 uur rondbrengen. Het is een prachtig gebouw in een mooie groene setting waar je leuk kunt wandelen.
Het LAMmuseum is een verborgen parel! Wat een prachtige collectie in een licht modern gebouw op een geweldig mooi landgoed. Een warm welkom bij binnenkomst en je word in iedere zaal vriendelijk en op verfrissende wijze te woord gestaan door de Kijkcoaches. Hier gaat het om anders en écht kijken. Wat doet de kunst met mij? Dat levert interessante en inspirerende gesprekken op! Een aanrader voor jong en oud!
Het is een fantastisch museum. De medewerkers doen hun best om met jou de kunst te beleven. We hadden inspirerende gesprekken over kunst. Je voelt je welkom.
De kunst is van hoge kwaliteit, zeer goede kunstwerken soms van belangrijke kunstenaars. De keuze van het werk heeft als thema voedsel of de consumptiemaatschappij. Het is toegankelijke kunst, die je toch aan het denken zet. Anders doen de medewerkers of de interactieve app het wel.
So funny. Beautiful architectural building, varied offering, nice and colorful. I continue to be positively surprised. Go here more often. Followed by a walk through the forest.
What a surprise! And such wonderful, friendly hosts with whom you can have a wonderful conversation about art and who are really interested in you and have time for you! Recommended, we will definitely go for a mini holiday again (also for the building and the surrounding area: highly recommended).
LAM is a beautiful museum with a wonderful, modern art collection around the theme of food. The approach of the "spectator coaches" is great, you learn a lot more than usual, and you have to ask the right questions. The visit to LAM takes a good hour and if you add the sculpture garden two hours. We came with a group of 22 and we were split into three groups (maximum of 10 people can enter at a time). Everyone enjoyed it and the rest of the day we kept on talking about what we had seen.
Great museum, very friendly and helpful staff. The current expo themed around food showing all sorts of weird and wonderful items, and being able to sample some of the icecream afterwards was a treat. Set in the beautiful location of Keukenhof Castle, you can go for a walk around the gardens while you are there. I will definitely visit again.
Awesome museum! It starts with the beautifully architecture of the building, but then the central theme of food & consumption, the very visually appealing art and the whole concept of "just walk around and have a chat with us, or we with you" instead of endless signs turns this into an experience that myself and my 4 year old son absolutely loved!
Very interesting art. A mixed collection with something to everybody’s liking. I love the way there are no signs and you have to connect with the museum staff if you want to know more about the art. Like with the artwork, you connect easier with some than others, so also on a social level very interesting. A place for everybody!
