Exhibition at museum MORE

When you have visited museum MORE in Gorssel or Ruurlo, it is interesting to view the works of Jan Toorop and Kees van Dongen in the old Hanseatic city of Doesburg. The starting point of the exhibition is the Eastern heritage of Jan Toorop. At museum MORE, you may have already seen the works of Charlie Toorop. However, there are no works by her father, Jan Toorop, on display at museum MORE.
Additionally, after visiting museum MORE, you can view the permanent collection of René Lalique in Gelderland’s Doesburg. René Lalique is also known as the Da Vinci of jewelry and glass art. The museum regularly offers guided tours during which the curator gives a lecture, so that in addition to the information you received at museum MORE, you will also gain a different perspective on the art of Jan Toorop at the Lalique Museum in Doesburg.

The museum features LED screens and touchscreens that provide you with additional information about the René Lalique collection. These screens also display the details incorporated into Lalique’s works.
After your visit, you can enjoy a delicious lunch in the flower garden or, during the winter, by the open fireplace. At Museum MORE, you can of course also have lunch in the museum or at “Loetje,” which is located in the center of Gorssel.
In Ruurlo, Museum MORE has a castle where you can view the Carel Willink collection.
This is very interesting, and many guests visit the Lalique Museum in Doesburg as well as the Museum MORE locations in Gorssel and Ruurlo all in one day.

If, following your previous visit to museum MORE in Gorssel, you would like to learn more about Jan Toorop, it is interesting to pay a visit to the Lalique museum in the old Hanseatic city of Doesburg.
Your visit to the Lalique museum will give you insight into the symbolism that Jan Toorop applied in his work.
In addition, the permanent collection of René Lalique is composed in a highly varied manner.
In the museum’s media room, you can also watch a film about how glass is currently produced in Lalique’s present-day studio.

You can also attend a special event at the museum where the curator will give a lecture, after which all your questions can be answered. It is an engaging, atmospheric, and educational gathering. Especially during the periods of Easter and Christmas, there is a lot of interest in these events, about which we will provide more information in the text below.
The entrance fee for the museum is €16. If you have a museum card, you can visit the museum for free. For many guests visiting Doesburg, this is often a reason to step inside the Lalique Museum. Inspired by their visit, people often book an event at the museum. At Museum MORE, it is also possible to book a special event.

If you would like to deepen your knowledge after your visit to the MORE museum, you can visit the Lalique Museum in Doesburg. It is located in the Achterhoek region, near Arnhem and Zutphen.
There are various packages available for you to enjoy:

In the case of the prosecco arrangement, you will be welcomed with a glass of prosecco in the museum’s concert hall. The curator will give you an interesting lecture about the Art Nouveau period and artists such as René Lalique and Jan Toorop. After the lecture, a short piano recital will be performed, after which you will be guided through the museum’s collection. Thanks to the lecture, you will have a better understanding of the exhibited works and you will have deepened your knowledge after visiting Museum MORE in Gorssel.

Guests often combine the lecture with a lunch. This is, of course, a more festive occasion, especially during the Christmas and Easter periods as previously mentioned.
During these times, the monuments housing the museum are completely decorated in style.
Just like with the prosecco arrangement, you will be welcomed in the museum’s concert hall.
Afterwards, the curator will give you a lecture about Jan Toorop or René Lalique. You will then enjoy lunch in the hall. The lunch is prepared in the museum’s own kitchen. After lunch, you will receive a guided tour of the museum accompanied by the curator. Any question you may have can be answered by the curator.

There will also be time to answer all your questions. After the tour of the collection, you are of course welcome to explore the museum on your own and take a closer look at works you found interesting. It is a fascinating experience, even if you have visited Museum MORE in Gorssel before.
