Museum MORE | Ruurlo Castle

Works by a monumental artist deserve a monumental home – which is why Hans and Monique Melchers, the founders of Museum MORE, have housed the world’s largest collection of works by Carel Willink at Ruurlo Castle. Museum MORE | Ruurlo Castle was opened to the public in the summer of 2017 and the castle welcomed 25,000 visitors in the first month alone. Castles always fire the imagination; the traces of history are still visible in the present, offering tangible evidence of the resilience of time. The art collector Hans Melchers (b. 1938) fell under the spell of Ruurlo Castle as a young boy, when he would fish for carp in the pond.
