The Museum B.C. Koekkoek House is the former home of the Dutch painter Barend Cornelis Koekkoek and his family. The listed building in Kleve at Koekkoekplatz 1, formerly Kavarinerstraße 33, has been used as a museum since 1960. Under the name Städtisches Museum Haus Koekkoek it served as a museum of the city of Kleve until 1997.

Koekkoek and his circle. It is financially supported by the B.C. Koekkoek-Haus Foundation, an initiative of the Friends of the Museum Kurhaus and Koekkoek-Haus Kleve, the NRW Foundation and the City of Kleve.
