The Hague Art City

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, the four biggest Dutch cities combine forces for a mega project in the field of art: Holland Art Cities. For a period of two years, 10 top museums will synchronise their programmes surrounding four different themes.

The Hague, under the name of The Hague Art City, is the scene of an explosion of arts. The following “highlights” have already been announced: 

From February 2009 to the end of this year, the Imax-film “Van Gogh, bigger than painting” will be shown in the large screen cinema Omniversum. His paintings will come to life on the enormous IMAX screen and show us Van Gogh’s beautiful use of colour and painting techniques. We follow the life of Vincent van Gogh and rediscover the places and landscapes that inspired him for his main works. The film takes us to France, where Van Gogh developed his famous yellow tints and to Auvers, where he produced 70 master works and created an incredible number of no less than 600 paintings in a mere decade.

1 September 2009 – 30 June 2010: Young, contemporary art and design
