Special Exhibition

05.06.2026 – 30.10.2026

A temporary exhibition in which the art of caricature engages in dialogue with the major themes explored in our permanent collection. Through ten remarkable caricatures drawn from the satirical newspaper Le Frondeur (1868–1869), discover a biting visual world populated by voluptuous monks, hypocritical clergymen and indolent politicians. Combining satire, history and a critical perspective on society, it offers an original experience that sheds light on the past with striking modern relevance. A unique opportunity to discover rare, humorous and provocative works that are sure to leave a lasting impression.
A Johannes Bosschaert still life looted during WWII will be returned to the Grand East of the Netherlands, following a positive recommendation by the Dutch Restitutions Committee—an important step in Masonic heritage restitution.
