Museum Møhlmann: one tin, 124 ways of looking

Realist art sometimes seems immediately clear: you recognise what you see. Museum Møhlmann, however, makes room for the next question. What changes when artists each treat the same subject, format or detail differently?

Museum Møhlmann is housed in De Muzeheerd, a nearly 50-metre-long farmhouse built around 1870. The independent museum presents contemporary and historical realist and figurative art, with around four hundred works on view at a time.

The Canto Collection consists of 124 paintings of the same Canto-brand tin. Rob Møhlmann made the 40-by-30-centimetre canvases between 1982 and 1993; the complete series is on permanent display.
