Duivenvoorde Portrait Pavilion, running order Saturday 16 October

From 16 – 23 October, the ancient Duivenvoorde Castle will become the setting for an experimental programme full of art and live performances in reaction the unique collection of (family) portraits. Eight centuries of history, 140 portrait paintings and dozens of contemporary (art) portraits are brought together in one majestic ball room, like a Facebook avant la lettre.

The focal point during these two days is the temporary Portrait Pavilion, a design by architects Jarrik Ouburg and Paulien Bremmer, enabling a confrontation of old masterpieces and contemporary portraits. On Saturday 16 & 23 October, renowned artists, curators, musicians, designers and collectors present their favourite portrait and visitors will be able to participate in a series of workshops and performances. These activities are part of the museum’s 50th anniversary celebration.
