Kunstmuseum Den Haag exhibition explores music and visual art intersection
Kunstmuseum Den Haag will present 'Base Line – Music Meets Art' this spring, marking the 200th anniversary of the Royal Conservatoire. The exhibition reunites visual art and music, displaying a portion of the museum's collection of musical instruments for the first time in decades. Visitors will hear the instruments' sounds, see Japanese prints of musicians, and learn about forgotten female composers. The show also explores how modern artists were influenced by music, with sensory experiences including smell and touch. A public program will involve musicians and communities from The Hague, creating a cross-border and cross-era dialogue.
