Pygmalion shows art in a canal house on the Vecht
During exhibitions, Pygmalion brings together painting, prints, sculpture and documentary material from roughly 1850 to 1950.
The Tachtigers on paper and canvas
Paintings and prints from the late nineteenth century show different techniques side by side. Compare brushwork, line and print run, and check for each work whether it is Dutch or French.
Sculpture in rooms
Early twentieth-century sculptures respond strongly to the scale of the canal house. Walk around a work and note the plinth, daylight and distance to furniture or wall.
Art dealership and presentation
Pygmalion is primarily an art dealership, not a museum with a permanent collection display. Manuscripts, photos and books appear depending on the current exhibition.
