Art on Display 1949-69
How do we display art? And how do we view it as museum visitors? When visiting an exhibition, we tend to look at the artwork, only subconsciously experiencing the way it is presented. Art on Display 1949-69 focuses on the presentation. For the first time, the exhibition brings together some of the most progressive post-war exhibition designs by architects, based on 1:1 reconstructions – a unique chance to physically experience these radical approaches. Featuring designs by Carlo Scarpa, Franco Albini and Franca Helg, Lina Bo Bardi, Aldo van Eyck and Alison and Peter Smithson, the exhibition’s spatial design is by architect Jo Taillieu.
Around the museum
Sonneveld House
Sonneveld House is one of the best-preserved houses in the Dutch Functionalist style. The architects designed a total concept in which architecture, interior and furnishings are perfectly coordinated and reinforce one another.
