Video duration 26 minutes 00 seconds
The director of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum discusses what art tells us about the past and what it means for future generations.
Humanity has tried to define and debate what art is for centuries. And perhaps those definitions are driven by our desperate need to better understand our existence.
Throughout history, art has been a way of telling our stories, expressing our faith and beliefs, and depicting the phases that have marked our social evolutions.
In this episode we explore the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, accompanied by one of the most knowledgeable minds in the field.
