About this museum

Museum Het Valkhof hosted an important retrospective of Berend Strik from 2010-2011, marking his international breakthrough. This exhibition showcased the full evolution of his work — from early drawings to large-scale sculptures and installations.

Valkhof plays a central role in the culture of Nijmegen and Gelderland. The connection to the historic Valkhof monastery gives the museum a special atmosphere that perfectly matches the mix of old and new in Berend's work.
