Introduction

The Chabot Museum is a white modernist villa from the 1930s in Museumpark, itself a gem of the Dutch New Building movement, devoted to the work of Henk Chabot, a Dutch expressionist painter and sculptor. Once a private home, its circular stair and streamlined facade ooze period style, while the collection concentrates on Chabot's brooding landscapes and figures from the interwar years. Add a pause in the sculpture garden and you get architecture, painting and greenery in one relaxed stop on Rotterdam's art circuit.
