Diversity in North Holland through portraits

Diversity in North Holland through portraits 

Historical portraits exhibited in museums often depict the upper classes of the 16th and 17th century such as brewers, civic guards and regentesses. Our exhibition Faces of North Holland offers a look at the current residents of the Dutch province of North Holland. This exhibition showcases diversity in North Holland through portraits that have been created in partnership with various communities. Facesof North Holland is a collaborative project between Amsterdam Museum and Frans Hals Museum. From Aalsmeer to Texel, we teamed up with the residents of North Holland to uncover contemporary portraits.
