Klein's Colours. An Artistic Family's Universe, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, 2026
When you think of Yves Klein then you think of the colour blue. More especially, his colour blue, International Klein Blue which he patented in 1960. But this now world-famous blue did not come about by chance. Although Yves Klein enjoys international fame, his last solo exhibition in the Netherlands was in 1965. Stedelijk Museum Schiedam is organising an exhibition on this extraordinary artist in 2026. The exhibition sheds new light on Yves Klein. By showing his work in the context of work by direct members of his family, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam demonstrates that his famous artworks did not come about in isolation. In his short but impressive life, Klein was surrounded by a colourful artist family. His father Frits Klein, mother Marie Raymond and wife Rotraut were all in one form on another engaged in art. What unites them is their fascination with colour and creating new worlds in their art. In addition, this exhibition highlights Yves Klein's hitherto neglected Dutch connection. This exhibition gives visitors a more rounded and richer impression of Yves Klein's life and work.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €35,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 21 March to 25 October 2026.

Averkamp returns to Kampen. Kampen through Hendrick and Barent Averkamp's Eyes, Stedelijk Museum Kampen, 2026-2027
Kampen is known for being a member of the former Hanseatic League, its picturesque and historic old town centre and its many monuments. Both Hendrick Averkamp and his nephew Barent Averkamp grew up and worked in Kampen. Their famous winter scenes are spread across the world. Now for the first time, a selection of their work is returning to where they originated. Stedelijk Museum Kampen is exhibiting their work - about eleven painting and 37 drawings - right next to the river IJssel, amidst the Kampen heritage depicted in these works. Never has the Averkamp's work been brought together like this. It will be an extraordinary experience for visitors, and the exhibition will have a deeper significance for natives of Kampen because it gives them a unique glimpse into their forebearers' lives in places they know well. Historical objects and contemporary art are being used to tell stories about Kampen, its inhabitants and themes that matter to them. The museum is connecting past and present in an enjoyable, inspiring and engaging manner. The combination of a strong and broad historical collection allows the museum to bring visitors from across the Netherlands in contact with each other.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €40,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 2 October 2026 to 10 January 2027.

Cornelius Jonson van Ceulen, Stadhuismuseum Zierikzee, 2025-2026
Stadhuismuseum Zierikzee is organising an exhibition about Cornelius Jonson van Ceulen (London 1593 - Utrecht 1661), a Dutch portraitist of Flemish and German origin. He was a pupil of Marcus Gerards de Jonge. His style was influenced by his friend, the famous Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck. Although he was trained in the Northern Netherlands, Jonson van Ceulen returned to London in early 1619. He specialised in portrait painting and gained fame for painting the portraits of English kings, including James I and Charles I. In 1643, amidst the English Civil War and the decline of royal patronage, Jonson van Ceulen moved with his family to the Dutch Republic. He first settled in Middelburg, then lived in Amsterdam from 1646 to 1652 and finally in Utrecht, where he remained until his death in 1661.
His impressive career and the quality of his work was the reason Stadhuismuseum Zierikzee decided to organise an exhibition with an accompanying publication on his Dutch period. The exhibition is part of the series Zeeland Masters of the Golden Age that the museum has been programming since 2018.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €10,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 15 January to 30 June 2026.

'Co Rentmeester - Universal Photographer', FOAM Amsterdam, 2025-2026
Dutch photographer Co Rentmeester belongs to the rare category of photographers who have not only captured images but have also actively contributed to the development of photographic language itself. His innovative techniques, pioneering use of colour photography and his ability to combine aesthetics with narrative have had a lasting impact on visual culture and the arts. He succeeded in breaking down the boundaries between journalistic, commercial and artistic photography. Co Rentmeester's photographs show how images not only reflect reality but also influence social, political and cultural developments.
Co Rentmeester built his career as a photographer in the United States. He is one of the most influential and versatile photographers of international stature ever produced by the Netherlands, yet he is still relatively unknown in his home country. FOAM Amsterdam is organising a retrospective exhibition, accompanied by a publication.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €18,000 toward this exhibition, which will be on display from 9 October 2025 to 11 February 2026.

'From Bauhaus to Mecca', Design Museum Den Bosch, 2025-2026
The exhibition From Bauhaus to Mecca explores German architect Dr Mahmoud Bodo Rasch's (b. 1943) life's work. His family background is rooted in Bauhaus architecture and art. He studied architecture in Stuttgart, where he collaborated with Frei Otto, known for lightweight constructions inspired by natural forms, such as tensile membrane structures. Rasch became involved in an urban planning project - a tent city - in Mina, Saudi Arabia, in 1974. He converted to Islam and founded the Hajj Research Centre, approaching the Hajj as an urban and architectural challenge. He applied his ideas on lightweight construction to this context. The exhibition immerses visitors in this unique perspective, revealing the earthly decisions and considerations behind a heavenly project.
Design Museum Den Bosch is using this exhibition to bring Rasch's relatively unknown work to wider attention in Europe. His oeuvre provides unique insights into the relationship between design, architecture and spiritual belief, in which Bauhaus, nature-inspired Leichtbau (a German school of architecture, meaning "light weight construction") and Islamic design come together.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €30,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 25 October 2025 to 1 March 2026.

'Calculating Empires: A Genealogy of Technology and Power, 1500 - 2025', Rijksmuseum Twenthe, 2025
Calculating Empires is an impressive spatial installation, twenty-four metres wide and three metres high, created by artist-researchers Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler. The installation shows how technology and power are inextricably intertwined. From the invention of the printing press to the rise of artificial intelligence, Crawford and Joler depict five centuries of technological and societal developments in a visual manifesto, inviting reflection on how power is exercised through technology. While revealing hidden structures and systems, the installation leaves interpretation up to the viewer.
Rijksmuseum Twenthe exhibited the installation as part of the exhibition The Tec Divide and successfully acquired the work for its permanent collection.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €25,000 towards this project.

'The Men of Michelangelo, Teylers Museum, Haarlem, 2025-2026
In The Men of Michelangelo, the Teylers Museum explores the prominent role of the male body in nearly all of
Michelangelo Buonarroti's (1475-1564) work. The figures are often nude, muscular and depicted in provocative and expressive poses.
No other subject occupied Michelangelo as much throughout his lifetime. His vision of the ideal male form left an indelible mark on Western art history.
This is the first exhibition entirely dedicated to the centrality of the male body in Michelangelo's oeuvre. Michelangelo and Men
approaches the theme from artistic, social, religious/philosophical and personal perspectives. This gives visitors a multifaceted
narrative about Michelangelo's thoughts and works as one of Europe's most influential artists.
In addition to Michelangelo's drawings, sculptures, letters and excerpts of his poetry are on display, including exceptional highlights
from art history never before seen in the Netherlands.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €50,000 towards this exhibition,
which will run from 14 October 2025 to 25 January 2026.

Brancusi from Centre Pompidou, H'Art Museum, Amsterdam, 2025-2026
H'ART Museum, formerly known as the Hermitage Amsterdam, is an independent museum found at Amstel 51 in the historic Amstelhof building.
After severing ties with Russia in 2022, the museum was rebranded as H'ART Museum in 2023 and focused on collaborations with international institutions
such as the British Museum, the Centre Pompidou and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. This new approach allows the museum to present a diverse
selection of world-class exhibitions that appeal to both local and international visitors.
The Centre Pompidou boasts an exceptional collection of works by Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957), one of the most influential sculptors of the twentieth century. Born in Romania, Brancusi developed his artistic career primarily in Paris. A pioneer of modernism, he is renowned for his pure forms and his use of abstraction to express universal concepts such as love, joy and spirituality. His work is a quest for the essence of forms, often reduced to their most minimalist and pure state. Brancusi drew inspiration from diverse sources from the traditional art of his homeland to African art and the Parisian avant-garde.
Thanks to a multi-year partnership with the Centre Pompidou, the H'ART Museum has had a unique opportunity to present this remarkable collection to the Dutch public, supplemented by loans from Dutch collections. The collection will come to the Netherlands in this configuration for the first time in 2025. Over 30 works will be displayed alongside photographs (including Brancusi's own), drawings, films and archival material. This is a rare chance to see the work of this twentieth-century master in a new light.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €50,000 towards this exhibition,
which will run from 20 September 2025 to 18 January 2026.

'Nieuw Parijs: van Monet tot Morisot', Kunstmuseum Den Haag, 2025
The Kunstmuseum Den Haag is organising the exhibition New Paris: From Monet to Morisot. It focuses on the Impressionists' depictions of Paris during a transformative era for both modern art and the city itself. Central to the exhibition are three unique cityscapes by Claude Monet, painted in 1867 from the balcony of the Louvre museum. Instead of copying the old masters, Monet literally turned his back on the museum's collection to capture modern life outside. His cityscapes mark a symbolic starting point for Impressionism and a pivotal moment in art history. The three related cityscapes transport visitors into a unique depiction of an eventful chapter of Paris's history, the dramatic urban changes by architect Haussmann. The aspect of urban development connects to contemporary themes about city life and urbanites. These aspects are explored in the exhibition, various public programmes and an audio tour.
The exhibition will feature the other two cityscapes from collaborating museums' collections. Moreover, major international loans are being organised from institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), The National Gallery of Art (Washington) and Musée d'Orsay (Paris). Many of these works have never been shown in the Netherlands.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €45,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 15 February to 9 June 2025.

'Masterful Mystery - About Rembrandt's Enigmatic Contemporary', Museum De Lakenhal, Leiden, 2025-2026
For the first time in history, the haunting and melancholic works of seventeenth-century artist Master I.S. are being brought together in an exhibition at Museum De Lakenhal. Surrounded by mystery, the Master has not been well researched before. Visitors are invited actively to take part in research and decipher enigmas around the seventeenth-century artist. Exhibited alongside works by Leiden masters, visitors discover how strong the stylistic affinities of the hyper-realistic portraits are to Gerrit Dou, Jan Lievens and Rembrandt. But clothing and objects in the paintings suggest connections beyond Leiden, strongly hinting at ties to Northern and Eastern Europe. The exhibition also delves into the tronie genre, in which Master I.S. is absolutely unparalelled, and possible self-portraits. The exhibition includes loans from other institutions, such as the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Nationalmuseum Stockholm, Tiroler Landesmuseum Innsbruck and the Bader Collection Kingston, Ontario.
The Turing Foundation is supporting this project with €30,000. The exhibition will run from 10 October 2025 to 6 March 2026.

Raad van de Raaf. Een doe-tentoonstelling voor klimaathelden. Wereldmuseum Amsterdam, 2024-2029
The Wereldmuseum is organising a new long-term exhibition as part of Wereldmuseum Junior. The Council of the Raven is a "hands-on exhibition for climate heroes," aiming to engage 180,000 children and families in the coming five-and-a-half years. Addressing the climate crisis, the exhibition immerses children in how daily life and culture in Greenland are affected by global warming. With three narratives from other parts of the world, the museum shows that people around the world are connected and that the impacts of the climate crisis are different in various parts of the world. They show how people interact with the earth and their environment, as well as the underlying attitudes and principles that shape these interactions. With a focus on (indigenous) knowledge, ideas, vision and values, the Council of the Raven gives the youngest generation of cosmopolitans new perspectives and tools for their future on a warming planet. Children (and accompanying adults) are encouraged to share what they have learnt at the museum at home, school or for example at their football club. The Wereldmuseum aims to inspire action based on the core message of the exhibition: we are part of nature, and we are all interconnected with one another and with the earth.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €80,000 towards this initiative, which will run from 12 December 2024 to 30 June 2029.

'The Call of the O'o: Nature Under Pressure,' Allard Pierson Museum, Amsterdam, 2024-2025
The Allard Pierson Museum is organising the heritage event 'The Call of the O'o: Nature Under Pressure.' This exhibition will shed light on the consequences of climate change on nature, the loss of biodiversity, the role of humans in an ecosystem and its future, from a cultural-historical and philosophical perspective. With wonderful books, prints and drawings from the Allard Pierson Artis Library collection, as well as works and reflections by contemporary artists, we explore why nature is under pressure and the role humans are playing. What assumptions and values led to changes in our perception of nature and consequently influenced our actions?
Using a thematically structured presentation with recurring storylines across various themes - science, religion, colonial biology and current issues - the museum takes visitors on a journey through an important period in Western history concerning human interaction with nature. The exhibition focuses on the period between 1500 and 1900, as these centuries marked significant turning points in thinking about nature.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 35,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 29 August 2024 to 20 January 2025.

'Eventful Middle Ages: Sensory Experience in Late Medieval Devotion,' Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Enschede, 2025
In late medieval Europe, Christians deepened their religious experiences. Seeking ways to come closer to Mary, Christ and the saints, as well as to evoke empathy, they stimulated and engaged their senses with images, sounds, tastes, scents and tangible objects. The exhibition 'Eventful Middle Ages: Sensory Experience in Late Medieval Devotion' at the Rijksmuseum Twenthe highlights the role of various senses and rituals in medieval Christianity and brings to life a time when art was intimately experienced.
The exhibition is dedicated to examples of medieval art that, unlike the precious items kept in church and cathedral treasuries, were admired and revered by the general populace. The focus is on the intersection of art history, devotional practice and folk traditions, the remnants of which are still felt today. International loans have been requested from Madrid, Barcelona and Cologne.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 30,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 19 January 2025 to 27 April 2025.

'How Van Gogh Came to Groningen,' Groninger Museum, Groningen, 2024-2025
The Groninger Museum is presenting the exhibition 'How Van Gogh Came to Groningen,' which tells the story of the independent-minded citizens and enterprising students of Groningen who brought modern art to the north of the Netherlands between 1895 and 1897 through a series of exhibitions in the newly opened Cabinet of Antiquities, the forerunner of the current Groninger Museum. Few people know that one of the largest exhibitions of Vincent van Gogh's work at the end of the nineteenth century was organised at the Groninger Museum. Showcasing this experimental, modern period in Groningen's cultural history enhances the celebration of the Groninger Museum's 150th anniversary.
International loans have been requested from institutions including Fondation Beyeler, Clemens Sels Museum, Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and Kunsthalle Bremen.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 12,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 30 November 2024 to 5 May 2025. The contribution is earmarked for the exhibition catalogue.

'Marianne von Werefkin, Pioneer of Expressionism,' Museum De Fundatie, Zwolle, 2024-2025
Marianne von Werefkin is one of the most important representatives of expressionism. Yet she is much less known than several of her close collaborators, such as her partner Alexej von Jawlensky, Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc. She was the driving force behind the expressionism of the Neue Künstlervereinigung München ('New Artists' Association Munich'), which eventually led to the formation of Der Blaue Reiter ('The Blue Rider'). Werefkin was the first member of this group to move towards a new visual idiom, influenced by what she saw in France. Museum de Fundatie is the only museum in the Netherlands with an example of her work in its collection: Landscape with Red Clouds (1911). This, along with the desire to give more attention to this remarkable artist in the Netherlands, is the reason for this first retrospective exhibition of her work in the country.
International loans have been requested from institutions such as Museo Comunale d'Arte Moderna di Ascona, Fondazione Matasci per l'Arte, Kunsthaus Zürich, Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, Museum Wiesbaden, Schlossmuseum Murnau, Sprengel Museum Hannover, Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus München, Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern and various private lenders in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 35,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 5 October 2024 to 16 March 2025.

Joan Miró - Sculptures, Museum Beelden aan Zee, The Hague, 2024-2025
Joan Miró (1893-1983) is one of the founders of surrealism, whose colourful, playful and experimental artworks are well known to a wide audience. Yet a comprehensive exhibition dedicated solely to his sculptures has never been organised in the Netherlands. Museum Beelden aan Zee, the only museum in the Netherlands exclusively focused on sculpture, is changing that this autumn.
In 'Joan Miró - Sculptures,' the playful and experimental nature of the Spanish master takes centre stage. The museum is presenting the world premiere showcasing several of Miró's plaster studies to the public for the first time in history. With these plaster studies the exhibition provides a unique insight into the working process of one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, who continues to be a significant source of inspiration for contemporary artists across the world.
International loans have been requested from institutions including the 'la Caixa' Foundation, Fondation Maeght and Fondació Joan Miró.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 30,000 towards this exhibition, which will be on display from 10 September 2024 to 2 March 2025.

Wallerant Vaillant Exhibition, Museum Van Loon, Amsterdam, 2024-2025
Museum Van Loon is organising an exhibition on the seventeenth-century artist Wallerant Vaillant (1623-1677). His painting is of a high standard, and he was a true pioneer in developing techniques such as mezzotint and pastel. The general public is no longer familiar with his varied oeuvre. Museum Van Loon is changing this by organising an exhibition for the first time with painted portraits and domestic scenes and examples of his mastery of mezzotint and pastel techniques. Exceptional international loans have been requested from the Gemäldegalerie Berlin and museums in Weimar, Bremen and Hamburg.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 10,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen from 5 October 2024 to 5 January 2025 .

Leonetto Cappiello Exhibition, Dutch Lithography Museum, Valkenswaard, 2024
The Dutch Lithography Museum is organising an exhibition about Leonetto Cappiello (1875 - 1942). He was one of the most important international poster artists and a master of lithography. For his works he used lithography. The exhibition not only shows his finished products (posters and caricatures) but also his designs, sketches, drawings, gouaches and watercolours. This gives a unique and comprehensive view of the artist's oeuvre and working methods. The emphasis is on his development from caricaturist to poster artist in fin de siècle Paris. The museum displays his most iconic works, such as Laterna Magica (1896), his first poster Le Frou-Frou (1899), Chocolat Klaus (1903), and Kub/Bouillon (1931).
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 10,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen from 1 June 2024 to 10 November 2024.

Whether it concerns an inner struggle or a tangible temptation, every person faces moral dilemmas.
Because the forbidden fruit always turns out to be more desirable, it leaves no wonder that these cardinal sins are ubiquitous in art history.
This exhibition in The Bonnefanten Museum celebrates the topic of sin during the 16th century.
A series of prints of the seven deadly sins made by Pieter Bruegel de Oude plays a central role in this exhibition.
His sources of inspiration, works by his contemporaries and followers who were influenced by him and depicted the same theme,
are all on display at this exhibition. In addition to important works from Bonnefanten's own collection,
there are collaborations with many museums and various national and international private collections.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €45,000 to this exhibition, which will be on view from
October 4, 2024 to January 12, 2025.

Radical - Female Artists & Modernism 1910-1950, Museum Arnhem, 2024-2025
Radical - Female Artists & Modernism 1910-1950 celebrates the work of female artists who pushed boundaries in the first half of the twentieth century.
Museum Arnhem, the Saarland Museum in Saarbrücken and the Belvedere in Vienna have joined forces to curate an extraordinary
exhibition that explores the relationship between gender inequality, art and modernism. Women in Modernism offers an unique overview
of beautiful and inspiring works of once very successful, often now forgotten artists or works from female artists that have never
been shown in the Netherlands. All works are dating from the period 1910-1950. A wealth of worldwide loans is on display,
supplemented with works from the collections of Museum Arnhem, Saarland Museum and Belvédère.
This ambitious exhibition sheds new light on the art world of the early twentieth century,
highlighting the artistic expressions of women artists amid social change, political unrest and technological revolutions.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €30,000 to this exhibition,
which can be seen between 5 September 2024 till 5 January 2025.

'On Edge', Centraal Museum, Utrecht, 2024
'On Edge' is a large-scale exhibition at the Centraal Museum Utrecht about hyperrealism, an art movement that emerged in the United States in the 1970s. Hyperrealism includes lifelike works that show an extremely precise, almost clinical representation of reality. Nonetheless, the depicted realities are shown in a subtle slightly different way. Starting point of the exhibition is the collection of American photorealism in possession of the Centraal Museum. The museum's own collection is supplemented with borrowed works from Dutch collections and international masterpieces, which have never been presented in the Netherlands.
The immediate visual appeal and recognizable representations of everyday subjects make hyperrealism a popular genre. What stories do these 'lifelike' works tell and by whom are they told? What lies behind their beautiful appearance? In this exhibition the genre of hyperrealism is critically examined, fifty years after its emergence. The beauty and craftmanship are celebrated, whilst the relationship with the depicted worldviews is being questioned. A common thread is the critical attention for the 'male gaze', which is strongly represented in the hyper realistic canon.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €30.000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 10 February and 9 June 2024.

Sol Lewitt, Jewish Museum, 2023-2024
The Jewish Museum (part of the Jewish Cultural Quarter) organizes a large project about the American conceptual artist Sol LeWitt (1928-2007).
This project is realized in close collaboration with the Sol LeWitt Estate. In an accessible manner visitors are invited to experience the visual power
of Sol LeWitt's art. The visitors will discover how his work emerged, learn about his Jewish identity and its impact on his work and his strong connection
with the Netherlands. He was closely connected with Dutch museums, galleries, collectors and artists. In the Netherlands Soll LeWitt's work has only been
presented in group exhibitions. Worldwide the visibility of LeWitts work is also decreasing. Partly because of this reason the Jewish Museum wants
the (Dutch) public to (re)acquaint with the visual power and conceptual principles of LeWitt's oeuvre.
The Turing Foundation is contributing 30.000 to this exhibition, which can be seen between 20 October 2023 and 24 March 2024.

'Yayoi Kusama. The Dutch Years 1965-1970', Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, 2023-2024
The Stedelijk Museum Schiedam is dedicating an exhibition to the Dutch years of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929). Kusama (now 93) is famed for her pop art and her large installations but also as a feminist icon. In 1967 Kusama staged a performance in the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, in which she painted various locals and the well-known artist Jan Schoonhoven with dots in the museum chapel. The performance caused a big stir and to this day appeals to the imagination. As well as the research findings on this performance, the exhibition also looks at work Kusama made in the Netherlands, her relationship with the Dutch art world and the interplay between her artistic development and social developments in the Netherlands in the 1960s.
The museum is bringing together work by Kusama and her contemporaries; this work is not often displayed in public and most of it comes from private collections. The exhibition consists of a total of 59 works, including 24 from abroad. For this project the museum is collaborating with the 0-Institute, which has collected photographic material of various artists from Kusama's time in the Netherlands. This material has never been displayed publicly in an exhibition.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 25,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 23 September 2023 and 17 March 2024

'Porcelain Fever', Keramiek Museum Princessehof, 2023-2024
The Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics is housed in a grand eighteenth-century townhouse in the historical centre of Leeuwarden. The museum has one of the best collections of European and Asian ceramics, from refined porcelain to beautiful earthenware. From autumn 2023, the focus of the museum will be 'Porcelain Fever': an exhibition of extraordinary ceramic pieces from two important collections originating in the eighteenth century, the Meissen and the Sèvres collections. Augustus II the Strong, Elector of Saxony, started the German Meissen collection, and Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764) played an important role in the founding of the French court's Sèvres collection. Rivalry between the two dynasties resulted in veritable porcelain mania.
Some 150 objects have been used to illustrate how this competition brought the level of European porcelein production to great heights.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 30,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 2 march 2024 and 1 September 2024.

Eye to Eye. The People behind the Mummy Portraits, Allard Pierson, 2023-2024
The Allard Pierson Museum's 'Eye to Eye' exhibition is the first in the Netherlands about mummy portraits: portraits of the deceased (mostly on wooden boards) attached to the faces of mummies in the Roman period in Egypt (1st-4th century CE). The panel portraits are a unique fusion of elements of Ancient Egyptian and Roman culture and give an impression of how these inhabitants of Egypt saw, presented and prepared themselves for a life after death. Their colours, piercing gaze and particularly their almost modern realism appeal to the imagination. The exhibition focuses on the people behind the portraits: the subject, makers, relatives, archaeologists, collectors and researchers. A total of 35 mummy portraits from international collections will be exhibited in Amsterdam.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €40,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 6 October 2023 and 20 May 2024.

Van Gogh in Drenthe, Drents Museum, 2023-2024
In 1883, Vincent van Gogh lived and worked in Drenthe for three months, painting the landscape and the workers in the peatlands of Drenthe. It was an important period in his development; he was isolated from the art world and had the time and space to reflect on his artistry. The Drents Museum is organising an exhibition focused on this specific period in the artist's life. Of the 24 surviving pieces from this period, the museum expects to loan some 20 of them. Works by Van Gogh's contemporaries will be exhibited alongside them: members of the Barbizon school and the Hague School of painters. The exhibition will start on 11 September 2023, exactly 140 years after Van Gogh arrived in Drenthe, and the layout is based on the route the artist took through the province.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €25,500 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 11 September 2023 and 7 January 2024. The contribution is earmarked for the catalogue.

Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, 2023-2024
The Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862 - 1944) is regarded as one of the pioneers of abstract painting. She created more than 1000 paintings, sketches and watercolours and was one of the first artists to make abstract pieces. In the exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian's visual idioms and paths to abstraction are being placed side by side. Their shared interest in spirituality and theosophy is put in the broader context of scientific developments at the end of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, a formative period for both artists. The exhibition, organised in close collaboration with the Tate Modern in London, will show some 100 works by Af Klint and 65 works by Mondrian. In addition, drawings, sketches, letters and notebooks will give insight into both artists' way of working and mental processes.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €30,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 7 October 2023 and 25 February 2024. The contribution is earmarked for the catalogue.

Brueghel: the Family Reunion, Noordbrabants Museum, 2023-2024
The Noordbrabants Museum is organising a large-scale exhibition on the Brueghel dynasty,
the most famous family of artists with roots in North Brabant. The Brueghel dynasty includes five
generations of successful painters - of whom Pieter Brueghel the Elder (c. 1525/1530 - 1569) is the
most famous - who worked over a period of about 150 years, from 1550 to 1700. The members of the
Brueghel family were active in almost all genres of painting: from local and foreign landscapes and
tableaux of everyday rural life to allegories, mythical stories, history paintings and floral still-lifes.
As well as Pieter Brueghel the Elder, work will be exhibited by his sons Pieter Brueghel the Younger en Jan
Brueghel the Elder, his grandchildren Jan Brueghel the Younger and Abraham Brueghel, his master Pieter Coecke van Aelst, and extended family David Teniers the Younger and Jan van Kessel the Elder. The exhibition is based on the Noordbrabants Museum collection, which will be augmented by loans from as many as 40 museums in the Netherlands and abroad.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 50,000 towards this exhibition, which can be seen between 30 September 2023 and 7 January 2024.

'Welcome to the Orchestra - the premier league!, education for primary school and special needs schools, 2025-2026
Welcome to the Orchestra is the education program of the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra (NedPho) for primary schools and special needs schools. During five weeks children are provided with a varied program that stimulates their musical, creative and social development. By means of this 3-year program NedPho offers 5,050 children from group 5 to 7 from the greater Amsterdam region a unique and inspiring encounter with orchestras and a valuable first-hand experience with classical music.
Soccer is the theme for the 2024-2026 edition. Students will discover the resemblances between a symphony orchestra and a soccer team. The theme evokes positive associations for both boys, girls and teachers and thereby strengthens the musical education. During this edition students start composing themselves as well. The project provides students the freedom for creative and musical development, within the framework of the teaching materials. The students play a decisive role in this project as their compositions will play a part during the big final concert.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €60.000 towards this musical education project (of which €20.000 during the school year 2023-2025)

Zuiderzeewijk Music Playground, Lelystad, 2025 - 2026
The Zuiderzeewijk Lelystad Music Playground opened its doors at the start of the 2024 - 2025 school year.
Much like a sports field, children come after school to play: making music together.
Although the concept of a music playground has existed for some time, it is new to Lelystad.
Children are introduced to various musical instruments and styles, learn basic music-making skills,
master an instrument and make music together.
They are given lessons, can participate in workshop series and attend an annual masterclass.
The music playground is needs-driven, with children playing a large role in determining the content of workshop series,
which focuses on a particular music style, instrument or theme. Music educators give the lessons.
A prominent figure, well-known in the community, runs the playground and brings in various music teachers.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €10,000 towards this project.

'Blaaskaken', Cadenza Music Association, Twello, 2025-2028
The project Blaaskaken ("windbags") is developing a structural in-school music education programme at primary
schools in Twello and the surrounding area. The initiative was introduced by Cadenza Twello Music Association's
professional music educators, with the aim of ensuring that every child in the region can benefit from a high-quality,
content-rich music education. Blaaskaken is a recurring annual project that runs for a twelve-week period per school.
Each edition is centred around a theme, providing a clear focus and depth to the music curriculum. This fosters connection,
encourages annual variety and innovation, and helps keep the project fresh and engaging for pupils, specialist teachers and
school staff alike. Throughout the twelve-week period, various music specialists visit the schools to give music lessons to
both pupils and teachers. The project provides structural music education, supports professional development for
schoolteachers, strengthens the link between in-school and out-of-school music education and gives young musical talent a stage.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €35,000 towards this project (of which €15,000 in 2025).

Klasse(n)orkest, Stichting TacT Muziek, eastern Netherlands, 2025-2028
Stichting TacT Muziek's Klasse(n)orkest East Netherlands project aims to give a boost to instrumental
music education in the eastern Netherlands by establishing Klasse(n)orkesten (class orchestras). A Klasse(n)orkest
transforms a class into a real orchestra. In collaboration with local music associations, music schools and music
teachers, a series of eight to ten lessons culminates in a spectacular final concert. Guided by qualified music educators,
children discover what it means to make music together on real instruments, such as trumpets, violins or percussion.
During the final concert, children are introduced to all the organisations working in their locality, so that children
(and their parents) who wish to continue their musical journey know where to go. The Klasse(n)orkest connects the entire
music ecosystem. Over the course of the project, fourteen new orchestras will be established in the eastern Netherlands (350 students),
resulting in a network of 60 orchestras (1,500 students). A rich and comprehensive learning ecosystem will also be developed around the
Klasse(n)orkesten.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €55,000 towards this project (of which €25,000 in 2025).

Het Leerorkest, 2025
The Leerorkest (founded in 2005) wants to give as many children as possible the opportunity of discovering how much fun it is to play an instrument and make music together. They do so by giving primary school pupils weekly music lessons, given by professional music teachers. The children are acquainted with (classical) music, learn to play a musical instrument and can participate in after-school talent orchestras and follow-up programmes at secondary school. Some 5,000 children in Amsterdam are taking part in more than 30 Leerorkest orchestras. They are loaned their instrument for free from the National Leerorkest Instrument Depot, which was set up by the Leerorkest and manages some 8,000 musical instruments.
The successful Leerorkest concept is being expanded around the Netherlands in the coming years. The aim is to come to a well-structured organisation, operating across the country, that links, renews and supports a network of music organisations for children with knowledge and instruments. The focus is on children growing up in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
The Turing Foundation is contributing a total of € 60,000 over three years towards upscaling the Leerorkest into the Leerorkest Nederland.

Dutch National Opera and Ballet, Bus transport to school matinees, 2024-2025
The mission of the Dutch National Opera & Ballet (NOB) is for everyone to experience the magic of opera and ballet and it welcomes visitors of all ages.
The NOB focuses particularly on young people: it wants every school-going child (in both primary and secondary education) to have the opportunity to experience what it is like to be moved by a beautifully sung story or a magnificent dance experience. School matinees are an important part of the programme for primary schools: extra performances of specially selected opera and ballet productions exclusively for schools from across the Netherlands. The school matinees have proved very popular, but transport to the theatre is an organisational and financial barrier to many schools outside Amsterdam. By providing bus transport the NOB wants to offer a structural solution to this problem and reach primary school children from all over the country.
The Turing Foundation is contributing € 115,800
towards bus transport to the special Dutch National Opera & Ballet school matinees, which will take place between September 2020 and June 2025.
