Exhibition tip
Anselm Kiefer at the Van Gogh and Stedelijk Museum
Anselm Kiefer: Tell me where the flowers are
7 March until 9 June 2025
Exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum & Stedelijk Museum
The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Van Gogh Museum are showing a major exhibition together for the first time. The focus is on one of the most important artists of our time: Anselm Kiefer. In the Van Gogh Museum, his works are juxtaposed with those of Van Gogh, in the Stedelijk all of Kiefer’s works in the collection are exhibited (for the first time) and there we also find Kiefer’s new, huge work ‘Tell me where the flowers are’.
If you are in Amsterdam, you should definitely stop by here!
Tickets through us are EUR 2 more expensive than on the official site, but you would be supporting our work for this site… Thank you 🙏

Mauritshuis
Braving the storm. A museum in times of war
Until 29 June 2025
What can you expect?
In 2025, the Mauritshuis will commemorate the liberation of the Netherlands eighty years ago. The museum experienced a very turbulent time during the German occupation of the Netherlands, as it was located in the middle of the Nazis’ political power centre: all the important organisations of the German government were literally around the corner. Director Wilhelm Martin was faced with major challenges, including protecting the world-famous collection of paintings and dealing with the propaganda role of the museum that the Germans had in mind.
