A face in bronze
The collection includes bronze portraits of, among others, Beatrix, Juliana and Toon Hermans. With each face, look first at posture and expression. Which details catch your attention before you read the name? That way, recognition is joined by attention to form.
A sculpture from different sides
A sculpture is looked at differently from a flat image. During a visit, ask how much space there is to view the sculptures from several viewpoints. Compare what a different angle does to the impression a face makes.
A digital introduction first
The virtual presentation offers a first introduction before you request an appointment. There you might choose a work you would like to hear more about. Then discuss which sculptures can be seen in person and how the visit is organised within the convent complex.
Before you go
Strictly by appointment through the congregation. Fixed weekly hours in other guides are not confirmed public opening; ask about accessibility.
