Sunday Stroll with Shahaila

Grab your last chance to explore the exhibition 'Art on Display 1949-69 'with detour guide Shahaila Winklaar on Sunday, 6 June at 2pm. Together with Shahaila, we will explore how this exhibition draws our attention to the way artworks are presented, rather than to the objects themselves.

Art on Display 1949-69 is an exhibition that focuses not on artworks themselves, but on the way they are presented. How do we show art? And how do we look at it, as museum visitors? Art on Display brings together some of the most progressive post-war exhibition designs by architects, giving us a unique opportunity to experience and compare these various approaches in person.

As an artist, lawyer, and tour guide, Shahaila has moved through the Dutch House of Representatives, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Parade and the Mauritshuis. She is curious about people and their stories, vision and motivations. Her favourite things are free-style knitting, in-depth sofa hanging and her e-reader.

"A good questioner shows you a different point of view. An even better questioner starts a conversation."
