Schatten uit het Rijks
This audio tour is part of a special traveling exhibition and is also included in the Lage Landen (Low Countries) exhibition. It is a beautiful journey through four centuries of Dutch landscape painting, featuring 40 masterpieces from the collection of the Rijksmuseum. The intriguing question posed by all these striking artworks is: Is there a relationship between these Dutch landscapes and our identity? The accompanying audio tour, filled with music, poetry, and observations from well-known Dutch figures and experts, aims to provide an answer to this question.
