Masterpieces from the Hermitage

Come join us on a unique journey through art history! The Hermitage Amsterdam is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. For the occasion, we gained access to all those wonderful collections of the State Hermitage in St Petersburg and brought together quite some extraordinary museum treasures from the entire history of art. From pure golden archaeological finds from ancient cultures, through sculptures and valuable items dating back to Greek/Roman times, to highlights in painting with big names such as Da Vinci, Dürer, Van Dyck, Matisse, Rembrandt, Tintoretto, Velázquez and Van der Weyden. The fascinating Venus statuette from 23,000 BC is the oldest object, the devilish swan of Belgian artist Jan Fabre is the youngest, from 2016. Over two hundred works of art in a grand journey through art history. Not to miss during your visit to Amsterdam!

ABN AMRO Art Prize winner Mounira Al Solh shows new installation

ABN AMRO Art Prize winner Mounira Al Solh shows new installation at H'ART Museum

In her solo exhibition Nami Nami Noooom, Yalla Tnaaam, Al Solh (Lebanon, 1978) reflect back to her childhood in civil war-ravaged Lebanon. During bombings, her mother allowed her to cut holes in her pajamas at night and then sew them back up with needle and thread.

This kept Al Sohl calm when explosions kept her awake at night. For this exhibition, she repeated that meditative act together with a group of women - some from migrant backgrounds - in the Netherlands and Lebanon. Al Solh incorporated the garments into a new installation that is on display for the first time at H'ART Museum. For the paintings and drawings on paper and textiles, she drew inspiration from dreams and nightmares. With the exhibition title Nami Nami Noooom, Yalla Tnaaam, she refers to two Arabic lullabies from her childhood, which her mother sang to her, and which she herself sang to her daughter.

On view at H'ART Museum from Thursday 23 November 2023 to Wednesday, May 15, 2024.
