The Mouseion · The Season · The Dutch Golden Age
Rembrandt, Vermeer and their world
In the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic, merchants, bakers and brewers bought paintings. The result was an explosion of portraits, interiors, still lifes and landscapes, painted for ordinary rooms.
In The Season’s hall, off the Hall: September 2026.
The works are chosen when the exhibition is hung, a few days before it opens.
Every work in the Mouseion is a real piece, out of copyright everywhere, shown from the open collections of the museums that hold it — each label names the original’s museum and links to its page there.
