Pygmalion shows art in a canal house on the Vecht

During exhibitions, Pygmalion brings together painting, prints, sculpture and documentary material from roughly 1850 to 1950.

The Tachtigers on paper and canvas

Paintings and prints from the late nineteenth century show different techniques side by side. Compare brushwork, line and print run, and check for each work whether it is Dutch or French.

Sculpture in rooms

Early twentieth-century sculptures respond strongly to the scale of the canal house. Walk around a work and note the plinth, daylight and distance to furniture or wall.

Art dealership and presentation

Pygmalion is primarily an art dealership, not a museum with a permanent collection display. Manuscripts, photos and books appear depending on the current exhibition; so check the title and content in advance.

Before you go

Friday to Sunday 13.00–17.00, only during exhibitions; outside those periods a confirmed appointment is needed.
