EXHIBITIONS AND ACTIVITIES
EXHIBITION
Behind closed doors
until 25th May 2025
This exhibition is dedicated to Paul Tetar van Elven’s bosom friend: Alexander Hugo Bakker Korff (1824-1882).
This artist was very popular in the 19th century, but his name sank quickly into oblivion after his death. 2024 is the 200th anniversary of Bakker Korff’s birth – a good opportunity to put a forgotten painter back into the spotlights.
Works of all genres will be displayed: paintings, drawings, copies, photographs, and examples of what he was most famous for – domestic interior scenes.
ACTIVITIES
Workshops for children
"In Tetar's attic"
During school holidays you can get a taste of how it is to be an artist! From 2pm to 4pm there is a creative workshop in the fascinating attic at the Paul Tetar van Elven Museum.
Do you want to decorate the “Chocolate Girl”, that Paul Tetar copied from artist Liotard, or make a doll of Marietje the niece of Paul? Or you could even make a portait of Rembrandt – the choice is yours!
The finished work is, of course, yours to take home.
Cost - € 5.00
