Support via the VriendenLoterij

Participating in the VriendenLoterij and supporting the Kröller-Müller – how does that actually work? You can earmark your ticket for a charity of your choice. By playing for the Kröller-Müller Museum, at least 40% of your monthly stake will go to the museum. This money is used to support important projects. For example, the restoration of Christo’s 56 Barrels was made possible in part by participants in the VriendenLoterij.

Art acquisitions, conservation and restoration

The VriendenLoterij has been supporting us since 1998. Donations from the VriendenLoterij are intended to preserve cultural heritage and make it accessible to the public. We use the contributions from the VriendenLoterij primarily for art acquisitions and restorations.
