History

From the traditional Dutch ‘vlaflip’ to a royal dessert buffet, from baklava to a Charlotte Russe, from custard and ice cream to delicious gateaux: this winter the history and enjoyment of desserts in Europe will be the focus of a new exhibition at Kunstmuseum Den Haag which opens on 23 November 2024. With exhibits including recipe books, baking tins, dinner services, paintings and much much more, visitors will be able to dive into the delicious world of desserts. A fun combination of art-historical objects and creative contributions from contemporary makers will make for a show full of surprises. Author and TV personality Janny van der Heijden is the guest curator of Grand Dessert – The History of the Dessert.
