SUMMARY:Drawing! at the Rijksmuseum
DESCRIPTION:Around 1600 something exciting happened to drawing in the northern Netherlands. Artists such as Hendrick Goltzius\, Jacques de Gheyn II and Abraham Bloemaert worked together and pushed the medium forward\, trying new materials\, techniques and subjects. \nDrawing! brings together more than 100 works from European and American collections to tell that story. Drawings are fragile and rarely shown\, so this is a chance to see pieces that normally stay in the print room. After Amsterdam the show travels to the Morgan Library & Museum in New York. \n\nWhen: Friday 12 February to Sunday 23 May 2027\nWhere: Rijksmuseum\, Museumstraat 1\, Amsterdam\nTickets: check the official site for prices; entry for ages 18 and under is free\nGetting there: from Amsterdam Centraal take tram 2 or 12 to the Rijksmuseum stop.\n\nGood to know: the Rijksmuseum often runs drawing activities alongside\, so bring a pencil. \nPlanning your year? See everything on the events calendar.
