The De Nollen Art and Nature Project isn't a museum. It's a work of art. Here, monumental sculptures blend seamlessly with the Den Helder dune landscape, the life's work of artist Ruud van de Wint.

A landscape full of imagination

Just a stone's throw from Den Helder Zuid Station, you enter a completely different world. Corten steel objects, colorful bunkers, and vistas that play with light and space: everything here revolves around sensory experience.

Guided tour

The tour of the grounds is only accessible with a guide. You'll discover hidden works, climb through narrow passages, and come face to face with enormous installations that change with the weather and the times.

The work of a master

Van de Wint was active in the House of Representatives and Noordeinde Palace, among other places. But De Nollen became his masterpiece: a place where art, nature, and architecture merge into a single experience.
