The Museum van Bommel van Dam presents the exhibition Fantastic Creatures.
This international group exhibition features predominantly recent works by well-known and promising artists who draw inspiration from mythical figures and age-old stories. Through fabulous creatures in textiles, drawings, ceramics, paintings, videos, and installations, they reflect on current issues such as identity, culture, and social relationships. What makes this exhibition so special is the way it connects the old with the new: myths are stories from the past, but at the same time, they are living traditions that continue to evolve and resonate with new generations.
