Catherine's world

10 October 2009 to 3 January 2010

From 10 October 2009 to 3 January 2010 Museum Het Valkhof will present the miniatures exhibition ‘Catherine’s world. Devotion, demons and daily life in the 15th century’. Following the successful Limbourg Brothers exhibition in 2005, the museum will now present the most important late medieval manuscript from the Northern Netherlands: the Hours of Catherine of Cleves (c. 1440). This anonymous masterpiece from The Morgan Library & Museum in New York will be disbound for the occasion so that more than 100 pages can be viewed separately in Nijmegen. In addition to pages from the Hours, a large portion of the widespread oeuvre of the Master of Catherine of Cleves will be brought together for the Nijmegen exhibition. Daily life in the Middle Ages will be illustrated by means of medieval costumes and Catherine of Cleves’ original household account books. A reduced version of the exhibition will be on show at The Morgan Library & Museum in New York from 5 February to 2 May 2010. Museum Het Valkhof expects at least 75,000 visitors to ‘Catherine’s world’.

Peace of Nijmegen room

January 2010

On January 2010 Museum Het Valkhof will open a new room on the ground floor, which will be dedicated to the Peace of Nijmegen (1678-79). For two years Nijmegen was the political centre of Europe - numerous European states negotiated peace treaties here to bring an end to various wars. Paintings, prints, applied arts and a scale-model from the museum’s collection bring this unique period to life.

An absolute highlight in the new room is a monumental ensemble of seventeenth-century Antwerp tapestries. They have been generously presented to the museum as a permanent loan by the city of Nijmegen.
