Welcome
A warm welcome to Het Depot Sculpture Gallery, the museological stage for contemporary sculpture. Our collection of works consists of torsos and fragments of the human body. We house over 600 art works, which you are allowed to touch!
We have two permanent exhibitions and show different temporary exhibitions throughout the year. These exhibitions are housed in our three extraordinary locations, which are connected by two beautiful arboreta (botanical gardens devoted to trees). You can also find some of our sculptures in these gardens.
The artist takes center stage
The aim of the Het Depot Foundation is to support individual artists so that they can develop their talents and themselves. To this end, Het Depot undertakes, among others, the following activities:
- Organizing solo and thematic exhibitions in Het Depot Sculpture Gallery
- Publishing monographs of sculptors
- Providing grants to sculptors
- Commissioning new work
We also offer educational tours for institutions, individuals and schools, and organize activities such as lectures and concerts around sculpture and related themes.
Het Depot is all about sculpture, and about people. People are central to our work: by people, for people.
Utopa Foundation
Het Depot emerged from the ideals of the Utopa Foundation. With its own initiatives, the Utopa Foundation offers people space to develop their creative talents and themselves.
