Museum van de Geest _ Outsider Art in Amsterdam

Museum of the Mind | Outsider Art

We are fascinated by the mind. That intangible, weightless something that sits somewhere between our heads and our hearts and makes us who we are. Museum of the Spirit has two branches; one in Haarlem and one in Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, artists show their inner world to the outside world through outsider art. A world that is often so full that it overflows and results in a complete and unique oeuvre. These artists only listen to the voice within themselves and develop outside the sight of the regular art circuit.
