“WUNDERKAMMER”

Fantastic collections from Hans van der Weijden

December 15, 2019 – January 19, 2020

In the 16th and 17th century “Wunderkammer” curiosities of various kinds were collected in a special room or cupboard. Beautiful shells and coral. Beautiful stones, seed casings, fruits and ingeniously made objects of ivory and stuffed exotic animals. The Wunderkammer showed the unknown world without wanting to be scientific. The worlds of Hans van der Weijden, near and far, dreamed or tangible, can be seen in Museum Valkenburg in its wonderful objects and fantastic collections.

The vernissage takes place on Sunday December 15 at 3 p.m. The introduction is given by gallery owner Marleen Guthschmidt.
