Nederlands Tegelmuseum: a wall full of small stories
The Nederlands Tegelmuseum in Otterlo displays tiles and tile panels, from old examples to modern ceramics. A familiar building material becomes something to look at closely here.
One tile, one whole
Start with a single tile and then see how several tiles form a larger picture or pattern. That difference in scale is an important part of the viewing experience. A small motif can take on a completely different effect when it is repeated.
Old and modern side by side
The collection includes both old Dutch tiles and modern designs. Compare the imagery, the colours and the surface without immediately settling on a preference. Temporary exhibitions and the permanent presentation offer different starting points for this.
