Exhibitions
Last chance: these exhibitions close on Sunday 4 October
Pop art by Woody van Amen and Helen Levitt's street photographs at the Kunsthal, Arabic calligraphy at the National Museum of Antiquities and a family exhibition in Dordrecht: today is the last day.
Today, Sunday 4 October, is the last day for several exhibitions. Here are four of them, with what you can still see.
Woody van Amen at the Kunsthal
The Kunsthal in Rotterdam is showing "Woody van Amen, The Best of" in Hall 4 up to and including today. The museum presents an overview of the work of the Rotterdam artist. In his early work, according to the Kunsthal, Van Amen uses well-known brand names such as Philips and Wrigley, in paintings whose images seem taken straight from the street: neon letters, logos and industrial shapes. His assemblages are also on show: combinations of everyday objects that move and make sound, or even freeze.
Helen Levitt: children on the streets of New York
"Helen Levitt, City at Play", in Hall 1 of the same Kunsthal, also closes today. According to the museum it is a large overview of the work of Helen Levitt (1913–2009), one of the most important street photographers. The exhibition was created in collaboration with Fundación Mapfre in Madrid.
On Sundays the Kunsthal is open from 10:00 to 17:00. Booking an online ticket is required. If you are too late for these two: "Plastic Sea, Perfect Storm" has been running at the Kunsthal since 3 October, until 7 March 2027.
Arabic calligraphy in Leiden
The Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (National Museum of Antiquities) in Leiden is showing "De schoonheid van letters" (The beauty of letters) up to and including today. The museum describes the exhibition as a new acquisition of objects with Arabic calligraphy.
Looking at art with children in Dordrecht
At the Dordrechts Museum, today is the last day of "Ik zie, ik zie – Een wereld vol kunst" (I spy – a world full of art), the museum's first family exhibition. You go on an interactive voyage of discovery from one art room to the next. According to the museum it is intended for families with children between 6 and 10. The exhibition was extended in April until 4 October, the news site Dordrecht.net reported at the time. Children up to and including 18 get in free.
