Exhibitions*
* What can you visit?
Sun-spark spraying
14 May to 11 September 2022
Things twist and turn in the world of Zoro Feigl. The artist shows us things that seem impossible – water drips upwards out of nowhere, while thousands of small gravity-defying balls roll in every direction. On Saturday 14 May 2022, Sun-spark spraying opens with a large number of new, playful and often overwhelming installations. This exhibition is the first time to see so many of the artist's works in one museum, taking up half of the reopened building.
From primal beast to smoking croissant
14 May to 26 June 2022
The museum proudly presents works acquired in the past three years alongside some familiar pieces with different subjects and from different periods. From Oerbeest (Primal beast), a Karel Appel painting acquired by the museum in 1955, to smoking croissants on a recently purchased Koen Taselaar tapestry.
Panorama Schiedam
From 14 May 2022
This exhibition explores Schiedam's history together with local experts. The museum has chosen 10 stories – one from each important period of the city's history – alongside historic objects relating to these stories. Set designers and artists Marloes van der Hoek and Wikke van Houwelingen have created a diorama for each story – a peek into history. Everything comes together to form Panorama Schiedam.
A colourful collection of ordinary people
14 May to 16 October
How well do you know your neighbours? Buurtplaatjes (Neighbour pictures) shows that we have more in common than we might think – and that it's fun to get to know your neighbours. The Buurtplaatjes picture book is the work of artist Maarten Bel. It resembles an Albert Heijn football album, only instead of famous players, you collect faces from your neighbourhood. Instead of teams there are categories, sometimes funny and sometimes serious and all available from a variety of small local businesses. The exhibition shows all the participants, a colourful collection of ordinary people – and a few animals.
