Museum Escher in The Palace in The Hague has acquired a unique work by Maurits Cornelis Escher. When the woodcut of a white cat was being removed from its frame, a previously unknown text by M.C. Escher himself was discovered. The text has been examined and interpreted over the past few months.
M.C. Escher absolutely loved his pet cat, which he depicted in Escher in The Palace's new acquisition: White Cat (1919). To celebrate this addition to the collection, Escher in The Palace is organising a cat art competition for children and adults. Grab your chance and depict your own or someone else's cat the way you like it!
The Italian artist Maura Biava is curious about the world around her, a trait she shares with M.C. Escher. For her photography, drawings and ceramic work, she draws inspiration from nature and mathematics. In her solo exhibition at Escher in The Palace, she is showing three underwater photography works, new ceramic works and the resulting photography, as well as a series of works on paper.
An extraordinary find led Joris Escher to a voyage of discovery into the life and work of his great-uncle, Maurits Cornelis Escher. Among family heirlooms, Joris found a Chinese lacquerware box containing ivory puzzles. Hidden in the bottom he found some drawings by M.C. Escher and his father, Joris’s great-grandfather. Escher in The Palace is to show them for the first time in an exhibition entitled Becoming Escher.
Escher in The Palace has had its audio tours for visitors made accessible to the hard of hearing. A specially developed technology was used to this end. The launch has been held on 3 March to commemorate World Hearing Day.
