"Metamorphoses" Exhibition Tour at Rijksmuseum

We invite you on a journey through time in this special tour where mythology and art intersect in the most profound and delightful way. Ovid’s Metamorphoses , one of the most important mythological sources that has inspired artists for centuries and has been reinterpreted again and again, is a legendary masterpiece centered on the themes of change and transformation. Its influence, extending from poetry to the visual arts, has made it one of the foundational references of art history — reaching as far as Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream . In this exhibition tour, we will explore the world of Metamorphoses through works by great masters such as Caravaggio, Titian, and Brâncuși. In the tours led by curator and art historian İrem Sezer , you will have the opportunity to learn about both the mythological narratives behind the artworks and some fundamental art history concepts in an accessible and engaging way. We welcome anyone who wishes to witness this magical meeting of mythology, art, and storytelling to this unique experience. ✨ The language of the tour is English A temporary WhatsApp group is created before the tours for communication and organization, so we kindly ask you to get in touch with the organizer regarding this.
