On Sunday December 14th we will visit Museum Kranenburgh.
Museum Kranenburgh is a museum for modern and contemporary art in the green artist village of Bergen, 10 km from Alkmaar.
Many artists, from around 1900 to the present, feel attracted and inspired by the landscape of the polder, the dunes, the forest and the beach in and around Bergen. Museum Kranenburgh maintains an extensive collection of the Bergense School.
I hope you are also very excited to see the three new exhibitions that are opened this month.
Over the Top! by Dirk Filarski:
Known as a painter of the Bergen School, Dirk Filarski (NL, 1885–1964) was above all an artist who carved his own artistic path. Over the Top! follows the travel-loving Filarski from his first visits to Bergen to his many journeys across Europe and into parts of North Africa.
Hidden Stories by MaritTörnqvist:
Poetic, fairy-tale-like, and stimulating illustrations.
All Ends by MeetDan Zhu:
Chinese artist Dan Zhu (Jiangxi, 1985) creates refined drawings, paintings and murals in which everyday observations, memories and daydreams merge with the infinite dynamics of planets, organisms and microscopic structures.
After visiting the exhibitions, we will gather for a coffee or a drink in the museum café, where we can overlook the garden with the many sculptures. If weather permits, we can also have a walk in the garden and even climb in the trees.
Are you joining me? Hope to see you there.
The museum is easily reached by bus from Alkmaar train station or by OV fiets. There’s a small car parking free of charge.
After signing up, you will receive a payment request for five euros to be able to settle the bill after the drink. If you can’t make it, you will receive a voucher for our next event.
Let’s meet at 13.45 hrs, so we can start our tour at 14:00 hrs.
I’m looking forward!
