In 1994, architect Leo Heidenrijk and his wife Cis converted the location into the Mondriaan House, making it accessible to the general public. The house and the school were opened as a library and documentation centre. Since 2001 the Mondriaan House has been the only museum for constructive and concrete art in the Netherlands. After a temporary closure for substantial renovations in late 2016, the museum underwent a thorough overhaul and reopened its doors to visitors on March 7, 2017.[1]
