Matt Van Der Velde

Matt van der Velde has always had a passion
for documenting places hidden from
society. He understands the historic and
architectural value in America’s abandoned
State Hospital and Psychiatric facilities.
Partne that with an insatiable interest in
history and you have the inspiration behind
“Abandoned Asylums”, which seeks to provide
a visual record and last will and testament
of these incredible institutions before
they disappear forever.
