The Mondrian House is also one of three finalists in the Europe category for the annual British Guild of Travel Writers Tourism Awards. This award has been presented to new tourism initiatives for forty years. The winners will be announced in London on 5 November.
The Mondrian House has been in the spotlight since its reopening. Indeed, the Mondrian House also recently received an honourable mention at the international Museums in Short award ceremony for the video installation New York .
The focus on the Mondrian House has also translated into a sharp increase in visitors. Since its reopening on 7 March, the museum received over 30,000 visitors in six months. In previous years, the Mondrian House received just under 20,000 visitors a year.
