On June 28, Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar will open the exhibition Longing for Egmond: from inspiration to artists' village for the general public. An ode to Egmond, a village that held a special attraction for artists throughout the centuries. For the first time in history, seventeenth- and nineteenth-century masterpieces are brought together in the region where they were created. The exhibition Longing for Egmond: from inspiration to artists' village reveals how this special place managed to enchant generations of artists - from the renowned masters of the seventeenth century to the American painters of the late nineteenth century who put Egmond on the map internationally.
