EXHIBITIONS AND ACTIVITIES
EXHIBITION
Prix de Paul
until 3rd November 2024
In 1887 Paul Tetar van Elven made his will. One of the items in this will was the creation of a Paul Tetar van Elven fund to support young artists, by means of a competition to be held every four years, for paintings with historical subject matter.
In the exhibition “Prix de Paul” these prize-winning paintings will be displayed all together, for the first time ever. Some of Paul’s own historical paintings from the period 1845-1870 will also be on display.
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 - € 2.50
