" Bernard Hulsman writes this in the NRC of Saturday 10 November 2013 in a laudatory review 'In everything an anti-icon'.

He compares the museum with the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and De Fundatie in Zwolle: "Especially in museums, the temptation for architects and clients is great to create icons, but Dirk Jan Postel of architects kraaijvanger [...] has expanded the [...] cultural outdoor town of Kranenburgh in the artists' village of Bergen (NH). )

" "Inside, the new building has received many walls, something that exhibitors are happy with, but that strangely enough is often forgotten by architects and clients in their desire to build an icon, such as the hollow inner walls of the sea urchin. on the roof of De Fundatie in Zwolle impractical to use.
