The Art of Giving

An attractive overview of post-war art in the Netherlands

In 2022, Lily and Henk van Mulukom decided to donate their impressive private collection of modern art to museum van Bommel van Dam. The collection consists of expressive, colourful artworks by members of the CoBrA group, the Amsterdam Limburgers and New Figuration artists. The Van Mulukom donation strengthens the museum collection, contributes important international names to it and enables the museum to present an attractive overview of post-war art in the Netherlands. The De Kunst van het Geven (The Art of Giving) exhibition is a journey along a selection of over 100 paintings, sculptures and ceramic objects. It’s a full-colour feast for the eyes! The exhibition is on display from Saturday 9 March to Sunday 4 August 2024.

Machteld Schoep - Schoonheid

A free-admission photo exhibition

Schoonheid is the first museum solo presentation of the work of Venlo-born Machteld Schoep (1962–2019). This free-admission exhibition features more than 75 photographs from the oeuvre of a photographer who had a special sense of humour and an eye for the beauty of the everyday. Schoep loved simplicity, was averse to pretension and was as honest, direct and funny in her work as she was in everyday life. Each photograph surprises with a great compassion for her subject – be it a building, interior or person. The photographer embraced the seemingly ordinary. In what many people would consider ugly, she saw beauty. The exhibition Schoonheid is on display from Saturday 2 March to Sunday 4 August 2024.

Museum van Bommel van Dam exhibits Evert Thielen – De Luiken Open

A museum-filling exhibition of the realistic painter Evert Thielen

Museum van Bommel van Dam is going all out in autumn 2024 with the museum-filling exhibition of the Venlo-born realistic painter Evert Thielen, (inter)nationally known for his polyptychs of monumental dimensions. Besides exhibiting new and previously unexhibited pieces, the Venlo art museum has chosen a thematic approach which stimulates visitors to look with fresh eyes. The in-depth exhibition is being realised with support from the municipality of Venlo and will be shown from 15 September 2024 to 23 February 2025.
