Museum Jan van der Togt is a modern visual art museum in Amstelveen, Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It was established by 1991 by Jan van der Togt, an industrialist and founder of the company Tomado who was a collector of contemporary art.
He wanted his collection to remain together and formed a foundation for this. Besides a permanent collection of paintings and sculptures, the museum has an important collection of modern glass art. They include masterpieces of avant-garde Czech glass artists such as Vaclav Cigler and Ales Vasicek.
Besides exhibitions from the permanent collection there are exhibitions several times a year, featuring notable artists in the modern visual art field such as Eugène Brands, Karel Appel and Hugo Claus.
