Visiting museums in Doesburg

Visiting the Lalique museum is a wonderful experience if you are an art lover.
In the museum, you will find beautiful and rare works by Lalique. The museum houses a significant collection of art objects. The art objects you see in the museum were created by the artist René Lalique. This artist lived from 1860 to 1945. Lalique is known for his precious glassworks and jewelry, which represent great value. Some of his jewels are worth one hundred million euros. In the museum, you will find hundreds of pieces by Lalique that he created during his lifetime. You will be surprised by the varied collection. While viewing the artworks, you can ask for explanations about these objects.

Lalique worked extensively with a magnifying glass and incorporated many symbols into his art. The details in the artwork can be clearly seen if you use a magnifying glass, which will be provided to you by the guides in the museum. The guides will also tell you about the symbolism hidden within the objects. You will visit a museum that will enrich your knowledge of art.
Visitors who do not usually go to museums will find the Lalique Museum appealing. The art is easy to understand, and the guide plays an important role in providing knowledge about the objects. Guests will find the museum interesting to visit and are often inclined to return. Most guests visit the museum twice a year. In this way, the museum benefits from so-called “repeat visits.”
It is an interesting experience. In addition, Doesburg is a beautiful old Hanseatic city.

The museum is therefore very interesting if you are an art lover. But even if you are not usually very involved with art, visiting the museum can be a wonderful experience.
The works of Lalique are varied. Most people who visit the museum have a fantastic day, partly thanks to the temporary exhibitions. Every year, different artists are featured. For example, until June 2018, the artist Jan Toorop is the focus. From July 2018, there will be an exhibition dedicated to the artist Marc Chagall. Art lovers appreciate this.
Visiting a museum in the old town of Doesburg is an interesting way to spend your day.
Especially during the Christmas and Easter periods, the museum is bustling with activity.

At the Lalique museum, it’s not just art lovers who are enthusiastic.
Young people can also regularly be found in the museum. Thanks to the variety, most young visitors really enjoy themselves. The museum also houses objects that young people find interesting. However, the collection at the Lalique museum is also very accessible if you are a bit older. The museum is therefore actually suitable for all ages from about fifteen years old, but even small children do not tire of the objects as long as their parents accompany them.

In addition to the works of René Lalique, there are regularly—as previously mentioned—temporary exhibitions that you might find interesting.
The temporary exhibitions give you more understanding of the era in which René Lalique lived.
The time in which he lived is also known as the Art Nouveau period.
It was a romantic period in history in which people and nature were central.
The temporary exhibitions also aim to shed light on this period, which was characterized by a strong belief in progress.

People thought that technological progress would benefit everyone.
After the outbreak of the First World War, a new period began. The art movement that then took center stage was art deco. Incidentally, this period was only named at the world exhibition of 1925. The art became more abstract.
It was a reaction to the time before the First World War. In the period of art nouveau, art was organic, detailed, and filled with symbolism.
It is interesting to visit a museum that provides more explanation about this period.
It is quite common for people to confuse the periods of art nouveau and art deco.
By visiting the museum and listening to the explanations, you gain an understanding of the artist and his role in the time in which he lived. Afterwards, you return home enriched by the experience.

After viewing the collection, you can enjoy a delicious lunch in the museum’s period room. During the winter months, it is wonderful to sit by the fireplace in the period room.
In the spring and autumn, people often choose to sit on the terrace.
There, they enjoy a homemade lunch freshly prepared in the museum’s kitchen.

During the Christmas and Easter periods, many guests take advantage of a special package when visiting the museum. You will be welcomed with a glass of prosecco in the museum’s concert hall. The curator will give you a lecture, followed by a short piano recital.
Afterwards, you will visit the museum. Lunch will be served, after which the curator will guide you through the collection. It is a wonderful experience, and most people find it a great way to spend their day in the old Hanseatic town of Doesburg.
In short, a fascinating day to visit a museum and also to gain knowledge about culture!
