A day at the museum

Tuesday my friend and I visited the museum  MMKA in Arnhem. Mainly to see the the exhibition 'Six Yards Guaranteed Dutch Design' (which you can see in this blogpost) but we also looked at other exhibitions and and made some fun random pictures that I'd like to show you.

 I know, I need to go to the hairdresser..

Prints, prints, prints

Yesterday I visited the exhibition 'Six Yards Guaranteed Dutch Design' at the MMKA in Arnhem. This exhibition is a tribute to the Dutch Wax textiles from the company Vlisco, based in Helmond. Since 1846 Vlisco sold their textiles to West African markets and became part of the African culture. The prints are known worldwide and were featured in fashion shows in Paris and galleries in London. Not many people know that these beautiful 'African' prints are actually produced and designed in this little Dutch city called Helmond.
