During my recent stay in\u00a0the Netherlands I have visited an unusually large number of museums…:-). I have reported already about the two patrician canal mansions<\/a> and the Royal Palace.<\/a>\u00a0Here are four more, in chronological order.<\/p>\n

During the\u00a0usual visit to my sister, she suggested that we could visit the Kranenburgh Museum<\/a>\u00a0in Bergen. Bergen is a village in the province of North-Holland, in the first part of the 20th century it was an “artist colony”.The expressionist\u00a0<\/span>Bergen School<\/a> of painting had its origin here and the museum contains many works of art from that period.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that’s not why we went there. In December 2015 a\u00a0special\u00a0exhibition was opened, prepared by guest curator\u00a0Joost Zwagerman, and titled “<\/span>Silence out loud<\/a>” \u00a0Various aspects of silence in art. I found the exhibition very impressive, really evoking silence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
