It's unbelievable how much the Museumpark has to offer us! Today we’ll describe the last two museums at the park!
De Kunsthal
Since 1992 the Kunsthal opened it’s door for the public. Since then there had many interesting expositions of
different genres. They had old masters, forgotten cultures, fascinating
pictures, innovative design and contemporary art. The interesting thing about
this museum is that they have 3300m2 on exposition space, this gives them the opportunity
to, at the same time, show different art movements. This is also the reason the
Kunsthal attracts su
ch a wide public.
So what are the current
expositions in the Kunsthal?
Rudolf Steiner, Alchemy of the Everyday
For the first time in The
Netherlands, the Kunsthal presents an overview of the broad, encompassing work
of Rudolf Steiner(1861-1925). Steiner was one of the 20th century's most
significant and influential reformers, and his legacy is as relevant today as
ever. Steiner served as a source of inspiration for some artistic giants
including Piet Mondriaan, Wassily Kandinsky and Josef Beuys, and still does so
for many contemporary artists and designers, such as Olafur Eliasson and
Konstantin Grcic. The exhibition presents a rich and extensive collection of
furniture, models and blackboard drawings, offering a fascinating insight into
his life, work and sweeping intellectual legacy.
Design Art 115 years VIVID
15 years ago the gallery VIVID opened
its doors, one of the first galleries on the border between design and art. The
Kunsthal shows 15 Dutch (Rotterdam) and international artists and designers that
have previously been sold in the gallery. Over the years the gallery has become
much more than only that, it built a national and international meeting point
and a platform for lively discussions about the border between design and art.
Definitely worth a visit!
Love & Marriage, Paul Breuker
As part of the national
picture week with the theme ‘look my happiness’, the Kunsthal presents Love and
Marriage by Paul Breuker. Paul has been a wedding photographer for the last twenty
five years, and presents the most special moments of before and during the
wedding ceremony. The exposition gives an overview of heartwarming pictures.
Natural historic Museum
Rotterdam
The Natural historic
Museum Rotterdam is the only of its kind in the region. Because of its special attention
on nature and the history of nature of the region, but also the rest of the
world, it’s especially fun to visit with the whole family! The museum is
different from the rest of its kind because they have a dynamic collection, an
active research department, and a different view on the every surprising
nature.
Next to a the large standard
collection, there are also changing expositions. Currently, till the 7th
of December 2014, there is the exposition Window victims. This expositions, of
photographer Andre van Soest, shows multiple birds who fell victim of flying against
windows. Part of this is also a picture of the famous ‘Trauma gull’. This gull
flew against a trauma helicopter in October 2011, unfortunately the bird passed
away, but the trauma helicopter as well had to make an emergency landing.
