The Frans Hals Museum houses a world-reknown collection of golden age paintings, in the beautiful old city centre of Haarlem. Its latest exhibition on details and hidden hi/stories (called Ik zie, ik zie, or I spy...) is right up my street.
Over the last months I have researched, prepared and organised tours at the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem: interactive tours that focus on details in paintings, and what these details tell us about 17th-century Haarlemmers and ourselves, as 21st-century viewers.
Next Sunday 14 February <3 I will give another two tours as part of the exhibition programme I spy (2pm and 3pm). I will talk about non-romantic love in the Museum's collection: love for the unknown, love for what is lost, love for what one sees every day. For die-hard romantics and lovesick sceptics alike.
I was excited to see that the Museum has been collecting Likes on Facebook: 242 and counting!
There's more on the Frans Hals Museum's website.
Happy (non-romantic) Valentine to you! <3
