The Kremer Collection
A private selection of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish Old Masters, made accessible to the world.
Experience these celebrated works up close, from virtual reality to real-world museums.
Welcome
Founded in 1994 by George and Ilone Kremer, the Kremer Collection is a privately owned collection of 17th century Dutch and Flemish old master paintings. New acquisitions are made regularly, and many interesting schools and genres are represented throughout the collection.
Our mission: to promote Dutch and Flemish old master paintings and share our art with a global audience. To do so, we make the artworks available to the public through museum exhibits and digital experiences.
Our team actively acquires, restores, researches, publishes and markets all works in the collection, through our offline loan program, as well as our digital channels. Many interesting schools and genres are represented throughout the Collection, such as Caravaggism/Utrecht, Leiden, Delft, Haarlem, Amsterdam, genre interiors, landscape painting, history painting, Italianate art, marines, and portraits.
We hope you enjoy this experience; welcome to the Kremer Collection!

Virtual museum
In 2017, we launched The Kremer Museum, a virtual reality (VR) experience that brings museum-quality viewing to anyone, anywhere.
A visionary project by Joël Kremer, the VR museum was inspired by our passion for Old Masters paintings, and our commitment to sharing these masterpieces with the world. Today, anyone can experience them up close, no matter where they are.
Explore Flemish and Dutch Old Master paintings in stunning high-resolution detail, just as if you were standing in front of them!
Schools
Throughout the history of art, creatives have both learned from and been inspired by their predecessors and contemporaries. In the 16th and 17th century (and after) this created very interesting narratives to see how artists and their works could be connected to one another. A good starting point was often their “school” where they studied, worked and often even taught the craft of drawing and painting. We wanted to make an interactive visualization of those connections within our collection. Enjoy!
