Art

Art is our first language. Even while we are closed for renovations, our programming continues. You will find our art programmes at off-site locations throughout the year and on the digital platform The Couch. The permanent installations in Het HEM will remain open to the public after the renovation.

News

Books, podcasts, videos

Every Chapter we select a special collection of books, magazines, documentaries, lectures, art films and podcasts, carefully compiled by our guest curators – on occasion even borrowed from personal collections. These works not only offer further depth to the current Chapter, but are also masterpieces in themselves.
