==History==
The museum's original collection was bought by Eindhoven City Council in 1934 in an agreement with the private collector and local cigar manufacturer, Henri van Abbe. In return for buying some of his collection, the Van Abbe factory paid for and donated the museum building to house the collection which opened in 1936. The city had architect Alexander Kropholler design a building which is a symmetrical suite of galleries in traditionalist style. The collection contained works by Jan Sluijters, Carel Willink and Isaac Israëls amongst others, mostly Dutch and Belgian contemporary works. The museum also bought other artworks from Henri van Abbe before his death in 1940. The museum name was given on publications as "Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum" up until about 1990 and as "Van Abbemuseum" after that time.〔Based on search of Library of Congress catalog, September 17, 2015.〕
