Partnership

​

The JK Art Foundation joins forces with various partners to share its art collection with the public. With a collection rooted in North Brabant, it is no surprise that the foundation and the museum have come together in their shared mission to make art accessible to a wide audience. Past collaborations have already resulted in high-profile exhibitions, such as Zero! and Art in the Netherlands between 1910–1925. 

 

In 2021, the foundation and Het Noordbrabants Museum decided to strengthen their partnership by arranging long-term and permanent loans. This allows the public to enjoy even more of this carefully curated collection. You can find more information about this unique collaboration on the website of Het Noordbrabants Museum.

In the Museum

​

You can admire works from the collection at the museum all year round. For instance, the Palace Hall (Paleiszaal) on the ground floor features a rotating series of presentations. Here, modern and contemporary artworks from the foundation's collection are paired with pieces from the museum's permanent collection.

Currently, a large still life by Frans Ykens adorns the walls on the first floor, while Two Head Studies of a Man by Peter Paul Rubens shines alongside other masterpieces in the museum's permanent collection. This display is on view until September 12.

Highlights

​

A major highlight was the exhibition The Discovery of the Present (De Ontdekking van het Heden), which took place at Singer Laren from August 17 to November 28, 2021. A selection of over ninety works from the collection was showcased there. Later that year, from December 11, 2021, to June 19, 2022, the same exhibition was on display at Het Noordbrabants Museum under the same title.
