The memory game includes 60 artworks from the collections of The Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven.

The Van Abbemuseum is famous for its experimental approach towards art’s role in society. Its collection includes key works by Lissitzky, Picasso, Kokoschka, Chagall, Beuys, Daniels and Kormeling. Openness, hospitality, the exchange of knowledge, and playfulness are the drivers of the museums activities.
It is no surprise that the Van Abbemuseum welcomed the idea of creating a memory game based on their collection. Playing this game is a superbly creative activity in itself because the cards are not identical; they are even not made by the same artist. These cards do, however, have striking similarities in subject, technique or colour.

The Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven is one of the first public museums for contemporary art to be established in Europe. The museum’s collection of around 2700 works of art includes key works and archives by Lissitzky, Picasso, Kokoschka, Chagall, Beuys, McCarthy, Daniëls and Körmeling. The museum has an experimental approach towards art’s role in society. Openness, hospitality and knowledge exchange are important. We challenge ourselves and our visitors to think about art and its place in the world, covering a range of subjects, including the role of the collection as a cultural ‘memory’ and the museum as a public site. International collaboration and exchange have made the Van Abbemuseum a place for creative cross-fertilisation and a source of surprise, inspiration and imagination for its visitors and participants.
