Meet & Greet with Danielle Lemaire

On Saturday, September 19, artist Danielle Lemaire will be present at the exhibition *De geschiedenis is mijn gezelschap* (History is my company). This Meet & Greet is a wonderful opportunity to delve a little deeper into her working methods. The exhibition at Museum W is on view until Sunday, September 20, 2026.

In four rooms, Lemaire takes you on her artistic journey of discovery into former life in the Dutch East Indies. Her family history takes center stage in this. She draws inspiration from historical archival material from the colonial period, as well as personal memories and diary excerpts from her ancestors. In this way, she combines diverse themes such as religion, spirituality, colonialism, and melancholy in her work into a layered and poetic image.

Participation is free; you only pay the entrance fee to the museum (8 euros). Young people up to and including 18 years of age, Museumkaart holders, Friends of Museum W, Vereniging Rembrandt, and ICOM have free admission.

Saturday, September 19
Time: from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Location: Museum W, Meikoel 2 in Weert
