Exhibitions

Welcome to the last edition of Dutch Heritage Amsterdam: a four-part series of focus exhibitions in which one masterpiece from a leading Dutch collection is highlighted. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘭 (c. 1568) by Pieter Bruegel I (c.1525 – 1569) from the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam will be on display exclusively at the Hermitage for five weeks, until Sunday 28 August. The exhibition explores the life of the painter and how he situates the centuries-old biblical story of the tower in his own time and environmen; the Netherlands in the sixteenth century. From benches in the shape of red bricks, visitors look into the world of the old tower. And there is a lot more to see and to discover.
