Space Circus added to 20th century wing of Rijksmuseum

The selection of the pieces for this new wing is strict. The 20th century is now an important part of our history and therefore works of art from this period should be shown at the Rijksmuseum — but only Dutch artists, who have left their mark and with international acclaim are considered. From their collections only the most prestigious pieces qualify. This is not a selection that is taken lightly and therefore we are proud to announce that Space Circus [I] has found a new home in this internationally renowned museum.

We are happy to be part of this great moment of joy for the Netherlands, for the city of Amsterdam, for every history and art loving person in the world, and for the Rijksmuseum itself!
