In the museum's sculpture park are two reconstructed exhibitions pavilions, designed as temporary structures for exhibitions in Sonsbeek Park in Arnhem.
Aldo van Eyck's pavilion, reconstructed in 2006 under the supervision of his widow, consists of six parallel concrete block walls each approximately 4 metres tall and set some 2.5 metres apart, the whole topped with a transparent roof. Deftly placed semicircular coves and small openings here and there make the pavilion an intricate labyrinth with a multitude of places and views. |
