Art & Culture
Art inspires and connects. It has the ability to move you. It evokes emotions and touches your heart. Art can make you think differently and encourage creativity. Enjoying art together, and the stories behind the pieces, gives a different point of view on life. Art can enrich anyone's life. That is why NN Group is committed to making art and culture accessible to everyone. Because what matters to you matters to us. You matter.
Art inspires and connects
Art challenges you to look at the world around you from a new perspective. Artists are known as the pioneers of their time. NN Group supports artDone (not preview?)ists by acquiring artworks for the NN Art Collection.
The NN Art Collection
The NN Art Collection consists of 2,000 works of art, which can be seen in our Dutch offices. They contribute to an inspiring work environment and connect employees with contemporary art.
Three themes are central to the collection: experimentation, research, and innovation, with a focus on artists who completed part of their art education in the Netherlands.

DNNA
My hope is that people who see DNNA will pause for a moment. To feel the tension of the glass resting on the hard steel. To wonder about these large, coloured bubbles. To feel touched by their beauty.

House Ware
These colourful plastic objects are used to show the beauty of everyday life. Erik drew inspiration from the vibrant colors and lively energy of the market stalls in India.
Featured art
Interior No. 62
My photos are not a window into a world for you to step into as a viewer. It's the other way around: that world comes to you, taking over your space without asking.

The NN Art Award
We grant this award annually to an exceptionally talented artist who has been trained in the Netherlands and whose work can be seen at at Art Rotterdam.
We aim to highlight the exceptional quality of Dutch art education. The award consists of a cash prize of 10,000 euros. In addition, NN purchases work from one or more of the nominees for our corporate collection.
