Every six months, the Rijksmuseum presents a new show highlighting diverse aspects of the 20th century. This installment focuses on union leader Tonia Milgens, the Astral Drawings of Kees de Goede, and the emergence of the poster as a medium of mass communication.

In recent decades many rare art works have been transferred to the Dutch state art collection. They include pieces by Anthony van Dyck, Hendrick Goltzius and Karel van Mander. A government scheme started in 1998 allows heirs to meet their inheritance tax obligations by transferring art with a national cultural or art-historical significance. This show presents prints, drawings, and albums that have entered the Rijksmuseum collection this way.

In Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art, artists from around the world present extraordinary textile-based artworks, from large-scale, colorful and expressive installations, to delicate and intimate pieces about love, resilience, power, and resistance. The group show features over a hundred colorful works by 45 artists, including Louise Bourgeois, Sheila Hicks, and Tracey Emin.

This exhibition presents 27 drawings that Emile Bernard sent to Vincent van Gogh. The drawings were intended for Vincent’s eyes only, and are now being exhibited together for the first time.

This show presents 75 masterpieces showcasing the beauty of 4,000 years of Asian bronze art, from statues of gods to objects for ritual and everyday use.

This show presents two leading Belgian artists: Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) and Dirk Braeckman (1958). Although their lifetimes did not overlap, and Spilliaert mostly made ink and pencil drawings and Braeckman mainly works in photography, their art exhibits numerous visual and thematic similarities. Stillness, absence, isolation, and suggestion are recurring themes, gray tones dominate, and both artists opt for unconventional framing.

Cahn’s visceral imagery evokes powerful emotions through simple brushstrokes and a vigorous drawing style. Using different formats, bursts of color, and enigmatic human forms, she portrays universal emotions such as anger, fear, loss, vulnerability, and power.

The title of this exhibition not only refers to the iconic, feminine New Look, but also to the present, where the couturier’s ideas live on. Maria Grazia Chiuri has thoroughly explored Christian Dior’s vision and the DNA of the House, but she designs for today’s woman. The show features Dior's original designs in dialogue with those of Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Artists including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, Alfred Sisley, and Paul Cézanne used loose brushwork and bright colors to capture how they perceived light at a specific and changeable moment – an impression. Their best paintings from Dutch public and private collections will be exhibited alongside Impressionistic pastels, sculptures, drawings and prints, also from Dutch collections.

The Netherlands' first major survey exhibition of American photography. The exhibit has over 200 photographs on display, including works from Sally Mann, Irving Penn, Robert Frank, and many more.
