On this journey of discovery through the museum, there is so much to see and hear that you will hardly know where to look first. The animal kingdom of Frans and Nicolaas is endless. Sometimes you will come across paintings featuring nothing but animals, but more often you will be searching for hidden creatures and tiny, beautiful insects tucked away in the artworks. Animals can also be found decorating cabinets, bowls, sculptures, and a variety of other objects. Your guide will help you look, search, and find, but above all, discover through conversation and interaction. |

For this age group, our aim is to explore a world that is already familiar to them. From an early age, children encounter animals through their cuddly toys, pets, farms, zoos, and walks around ponds and parks. They are continually fascinated by them: small animals often seem cute, while larger animals can inspire a little fear. Animals stimulate the imagination and form some of our earliest memories. The Animal Kingdom of Nicolaas and Frans is the perfect theme for introducing children to the world of art. It helps them discover that animals have always shared the world with people, including 400 to 500 years ago. They may be surprised to see animals portrayed in very different contexts, and to learn that the animal world is sometimes presented as a reflection of human society. |
