Museum Galerie RAT: beach material takes on a new form

Museum Galerie RAT in Den Burg is a gallery in a private home showing work by Maria Roelofsen and Goossen Karssenberg. Assemblages of beach litter and geometric art are shown side by side.

Plan your visit ↗

Recognising and looking again

In an assemblage you can sometimes recognise parts that previously had a different function. Look at the whole first and then at the materials used. The difference between those two ways of looking is what makes the new composition interesting.

Forms without detours

The geometric art offers a different way of looking from the beach assemblages. Pay attention to proportions, lines and repetition. Ask about the working method if a work appeals to you; the makers’ own work forms the permanent presentation.

A gallery in a house

The venue on Burgwal can be visited free of charge during the stated hours or by appointment. It is also a place where art is offered for sale. Of course, a visit to look does not oblige you to buy; take your time with what is on display.

Before you go

If you want to visit outside Wednesday to Saturday, check in advance whether an appointment is possible.
