'''Museum Jan''' (until January 2020 '''Museum Jan van der Togt''') is a modern visual art museum in [Amstelveen](/source/Amstelveen), near [Amsterdam](/source/Amsterdam) in the [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands). It was established by 1991 by [Jan van der Togt](/source/Jan_van_der_Togt), an industrialist who was also the 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 such as Libenský & Brychtová, Maria Lugosi and [Bruno Pedrosa](/source/Bruno_Pedrosa). They include masterpieces of avant-garde Czech glass artists such as [Vaclav Cigler](/source/Vaclav_Cigler) and [Ales Vasicek](/source/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](/source/Eug%C3%A8ne_Brands), [Karel Appel](/source/Karel_Appel), [Ans Wortel](/source/Ans_Wortel), [Anton Heyboer](/source/Anton_Heyboer) and [Hugo Claus](/source/Hugo_Claus).
