our eyes

Open

Our Viewing Coaches can, of course, tell you about the works of art, but they’re also interested in what you think. Why? Because your eyes see things ours don’t. By sharing your feedback with our team and other visitors, we discover fresh perspectives and so many new ways to experience works of art.

TRANSFORM YOUR

PERSPECTIVE TODAY

Each of our Viewing Coaches is assigned a room at the LAM museum and can point out a special detail that transforms a work of art before your eyes. They might take ‘transforming your perspective’ to the next level and suggest you get comfy and lie down under an artwork.

Simply

special

Our Viewing Coaches possess diverse backgrounds and are experts in different areas. One might be a photographer, the other a social media whizz, the next a cybercrime student. But don’t let their wisdom fool you: they’re simply special people like me and you. And most of our coaches aren’t art historians — you don’t need to be an expert to share the power of art!

THROUGH THE EYES OF A

JUNIOR VIEWING COACH

We believe everyone — regardless of age — has so much to offer. That’s why we welcome special Junior Viewing Coaches once a year. These bright young coaches follow a crash course in ‘Transforming Perspectives’ to help you experience the works of art differently.

TOP MARKS

FROM VISITORS

Did you know that almost every review mentions the LAM museum’s Viewing Coaches? The museum wouldn’t be the same without them. Bringing the collection to life, our friendly Viewing Coaches are always keen to learn about your thoughts and experiences.

Collection

What’s there

to see?

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?

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.read more

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.read more

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.read more

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!read more

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.Niet twijfelen gewoon gaan ervaren.read more

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!

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.read more

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.read more

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!read more

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!read more
