A New Nature, residency Céline Hurka

This summer, we host typographer and artist Céline Hurka. During her residency with us, 'A New Nature', Céline is exploring floral and botanical motifs in typography. Céline presents her existing work, as well as the new pieces she is actively creating during her residency, right alongside books from our museum's collection.

Omslag

Omslag: today's books for tomorrow

The book as carrier of knowledge, work of art, and design object is thriving like never before. The Netherlands has an active scene of typographers, artists, and independent publishers who use the medium as an artistic platform. Starting Sunday 28 June, the museum offers a stage to this new generation. 

A warm welcome

National museum Meermanno is one of the best-kept secrets in The Hague. We are the oldest book museum in the world, housed in a beautiful monumental building just a stone's throw from the Malieveld. Our rare medieval manuscripts and early printed books are among the most important art treasures in the Netherlands. In our historical rooms, we bring history to life. We do this by displaying our centuries-old collection alongside innovative contemporary art. There is always something to do, whether you visit the exhibitions, participate in a workshop, or just come to read a book in our beautiful museum garden. We warmly welcome you!
