Five years ago, in 2012, business tycoon and art collector Hans Melchers bought more than 1200\u00a0 artworks\u00a0from the bankrupt DSB<\/a>\u00a0bank.\u00a0He\u00a0owned already a large number\u00a0of paintings by Carel Willink and wanted to create a museum for his collection. He found a suitable location in Gorssel, a village south of Deventer in the province of Gelderland. The MORE museum was opened in 2015 and is now the largest museum\u00a0\u00a0for Dutch Modern Realism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When I am back in the Netherlands, I always try to meet Nellie, my friend of more than 55 (!) years.\u00a0We both like art and this time we decided to visit this new museum. She\u00a0traveled from Friesland where she is living, I took the train from Amsterdam, we met in Deventer, took the bus to Gorssel, and started with coffee in a nice cafe opposite the museum<\/p>\n\n\t\t
