Guided tour

Spot the most remarkable and colorful birds in art and uncover the stories behind them. Take a whirlwind tour of the BIRDS – Curated by The Goldfinch & Simon Schama exhibition.

Vibrant collection

A guide will walk you through the vibrant collection of historical and contemporary artworks, from paintings to fashion and from an audio installation to drawings.

Featuring works by Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Tracey Emin, Iris van Herpen, and many more, you'll explore the complex relationship between humans and birds.
