Five Art Podcasts Recommended by Museumtijdschrift for Cultural Enthusiasts

Museumtijdschrift has curated a selection of five podcasts that explore various aspects of art and culture. The first recommendation is 'The Great Women Artists,' hosted by art historian Katy Hessel, which features conversations with artists, curators, and authors about female artists. A recent episode examines the life and work of Michaelina Wautier (1604-89), discussing her rediscovery and an exhibition in London with guests including art historian Katlijne Van der Stighelen and Julien Domercq, a curator at the Royal Academy of Arts. The second podcast is an episode titled 'Gevaarlijke boeken!' from Museum van de Verwondering, hosted by Dide Vonk. It focuses on the exhibition 'Gevaarlijke boeken – 500 jaar wetenschap onder vuur' at Teylers Museum, which showcases scientific books from around 1500 that were once banned. The episode includes a discussion with children's book author Pim Lammers about censorship and information freedom. Third is 'De ontmaskerde vervalsing' from the Kröller-Müller Museum, a six-part series investigating a forgery. It explores the painting 'Zeegezicht te Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer' (1927-28), long attributed to Vincent van Gogh but later identified as fake, and delves into the life of museum founder Helene Kröller-Müller. Fourth is 'De museoloog,' hosted by Arnoud Odding, who interviews museum professionals. Episode 42 features Anne de Haij, director of Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, discussing whether museums should address societal issues. The fifth recommendation is 'Goede smaak met Janny en Roderick,' where culinary publicist Janny van der Heijden and her son, art historian Roderick van der Lee, explore connections between food and art, covering topics from the origins of croquettes to Roy Lichtenstein's pop art. These podcasts offer accessible insights into art history, museum practices, and cultural debates.
