P. van Eeghen's collection of contemporary art was added to this as well as other collections not confined to contemporary works. These were later transferred to other museums, since in accordance with its original concept the Municipal Museum specializes in modern art from the mid-19th C. onwards. The following are some of the movements and artists represented: De Stijl (Van Doesburg, Mondrian, Rietveld), Cobra (Karel Appel, Corneille, Jorn), Colorfield Painting (Kelly, Louis, Newman), Pop Art (Rosenquist, Warhol), Nouveau Réalisme (Armand, Spoerri, Tinguely); painters such as Chagall, Dubuffet, De Kooning, Malevitch and Matisse. The sculpture garden contains numerous works, including those of Rodin, Moore, Renoir, Laurens and Visser.
