Veranderland

Discover the Landscape of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

This exhibition invites you to venture beyond the confines of the museum. While it may seem unconventional, this is precisely the goal of Veranderland (a combination of the Dutch words for 'change' and 'land'). Explore and choose your own path: wander through the museum galleries, listen to a podwalk, or pick up a travel guide brimming with fascinating facts. (Re)discover the vibrant landscape that exists both inside and outside the museum walls. How do changes in the landscape affect us?

ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT THE LANDSCAPE

Veranderland immerses you in the narrative of ever-changing landscapes. Discover how artists have drawn inspiration from their surroundings. How did Van Gogh and Mondrian perceive the landscapes around them? How do contemporary artists like Semâ Bekirović and Erik van Lieshout prompt us to reflect on humanity's interaction with nature? Perhaps the most important question remains: How do we move forward from here?

LOOK, LISTEN AND DISCOVER

Veranderland is more than just the works of art on display. Dive deeper into the exhibition with your own exploration: read more about the works in the Travel Guide, immerse yourself in the Podwalk, and get hands-on in the Veranderland Lab. This engaging space awaits you at the end of the exhibition, where you can envision the evolving landscape, turn the map of Brabant upside down, and add your own ideas to the environment. What does your ideal setting look like? Find a comfortable spot to sit (or lie down) and listen to the inspiring stories from various experts across the country, who share their experiences and insights about the changing landscape.

ALSO ON DISPLAY: A FILM BY ERIK VAN LIESHOUT

Premiere alert! The Fen-fire, Erik van Lieshout’s latest film, is now showing continuously at the museum as part of the Veranderland exhibition. In this film, Erik explores the perspectives of supporters and opponents of a new rabbit farm in de Peel, engaging in insightful conversations with farmers, animal activists and politicians in Brabant. The result? A humorous take on the landscape, featuring a giant rabbit made of hay. The Fen-fire runs for approximately one hour and is screened six times a day during museum hours.
