Exhibitions, events, blog, and audio walk: Over twenty cultural institutions celebrate Dutch art and influence in Potsdam in 2023
With weekly posts, the blog Holland in Potsdam offers insight into the many facets of Dutch influence in Potsdam—from the tulip festival to migration, city planning, and art. Starting with the Dutch national holiday “Koningsdag” on April 27 and continuing until September 2023, the blog will feature a variety of fascinating stories, places, and events associated with the theme “Holland in Potsdam.”
Holland in Potsdam is a collaborative project in which over twenty cultural institutions in Potsdam have come together for the first time to explore a single theme. Initiated by the Museum Barberini and the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation, the exhibition Clouds and Light: Impressionism in Holland (July 8–October 22, 2023) at the Museum Barberini serves as the point of departure for this citywide cultural festival.
The exhibition presents around a hundred Impressionist works by some forty artists from the Netherlands, including Johan Barthold Jongkind, Vincent van Gogh, Jacoba van Heemskerck, and Piet Mondrian. The city tour “Holland in Potsdam,” conceived especially for this show, is now accessible on the Barberini App and offers a tour of twenty different locations in Potsdam associated with Holland. The city walk will be permanently available as an audio tour on the free museum app.
Holland is everywhere in Potsdam—have fun discovering it!
