COLOURFUL IN BLACK AND WHITE
Korein Kinderplein children present the Van Abbe collection
16 June - 15 September 2013

One of the special exhibitions which can be seen during the Summer was put together by the children of Korein Kinderplein. More than 2,000 children aged between 4 and 13 made a choice from the Van Abbemuseum collection using the special "Duik in ’t Depot" (Dive into the Depot) website. Their choice of black and white works in the collection is exhibited together with works which the children made themselves on the basis of their choices. They also helped to organise the exhibition themselves.
In a number of videos the children talk about their experiences throughout the project. The exhibition invites you to become active yourself, for example, to go to various workshops during the summer or to make something yourself with the different materials available in the rooms.
The Colourful in Black and White exhibition will be part of the Summer Tour which will be from 2 July until 1 September at the Van Abbemuseum. With a DIY tour you can go on a voyage of discovery in the museum and uncover the different stories hidden in it. Afterwards you can go on enjoying the museum with a drink and a bite to eat in the Karel 1 museum café where children get an attractive surprise.
