EXHIBITIONS AND ACTIVITIES
EXHIBITION
Outside
untill 12th October 2025
Paul Tetar van Elven stopped exhibiting his paintings from around 1870 but he carried on painting and drawing for himself.
His sketchbooks are filled with atmospheric watercolours, often made during his travels, and using the grey and brown tints that are so characteristic of the Hague School of Painting.
Some of these paintings were worked up afterwards in oils, using a brighter palette of colours. In the exhibition "Outside", these private works of Paul Tetar can be seen for the first time.
ACTIVITIES
Workshops for children
"In Tetar's attic"
During school holidays you can get a taste of how it is to be an artist! From 2pm to 4pm there is a creative workshop in the fascinating attic at the Paul Tetar van Elven Museum.
Do you want to decorate the “Chocolate Girl”, that Paul Tetar copied from artist Liotard, or make a doll of Marietje the niece of Paul? Or you could even make a portait of Rembrandt – the choice is yours!
The finished work is, of course, yours to take home.
Cost - € 5.00
