Amsterdam Museum on the Amstel
Exhibition Refresh #3
19.00 - 02.00 | all night
In honour of Amsterdam's 750th anniversary, the Amsterdam Museum, together with fifteen artists, young people and the public, is exploring what the future might look like. From hopeful dreams to critical scenarios, together they form a rich and diverse vision of the future. What makes this even more special is that this is the last major exhibition at the location on the Amstel.
Raquel van Haver's The Collateral Kin is on display in this exhibition. In six monumental group portraits, she honours contemporary Amsterdammers who shape and define the city: from thinkers and activists to creators and nightlife icons. Inspired by the classic regent portraits, she brings together the heroes of today in a powerful tribute to Amsterdam.
Tip: Don't miss it, this is the last major exhibition at the Amstel location!
