The Mondriaanhuis in Amersfoort was renovated to coincide with the 100th anniversary of De Stijl art movement. Tinker imagineers created and produced the multimedia concept of the museum - including two video installations - and a new interior design. Visitors follow Mondrian, pioneer of abstract art, on a journey along the cradles of his unique art.

The challenging premise was that most of the original works are in museums all over the world. The new display tells Mondrian’s life story through multimedia - modern, immersive and unique in the world in a way that is suitable for a broad and international audience.

The designers started the visitor journey with a video installation of Mondrian’s oeuvre. An audio-visual story takes the visitors from the artist's early landscapes and colourful seascapes to the abstract world that propelled him to fame. The imagery is accompanied by the contemporary music that he liked, from Ravel to jazz, from Stravinsky to boogie-woogie.

The second installation is about Mondrian’s last years, which he spent in New York. In this vibrating city he made a fresh start: he got rid of the black lines and explored new spaces in his work. He discovered that lines are planes in themselves and focused on movement. The American influence becomes clearer: boogie-woogie music, Disney films, and the city that never sleeps. Visitors enter Mondrian’s dream world, in which his work, the city, and his favourite music all melt together into one audio-visual immersive spectacle.
