Mirrored Floor Installation

Wall and ceiling paintings

The floor of the Andriessen Room, located on the bel-etage of our 17th-century canal house, is temporarily and entirely covered with mirrors. Combined with the richly decorated walls and ceiling, it feels as if you’re standing inside a visual illusion. The 18th-century wall paintings by Jurriaan Andriessen—an idyllic landscape full of romantic details—meet the modern ceiling painting Dream of harmony (2022) by French artist Pascal Amblard.

Reflecting Andriessen Room

The mirrored floor installation enhances the interplay between the artworks, creating a dizzying experience: walls, ceiling, and paintings endlessly reflect one another. In this monumental room, past and present literally merge. Find yourself at the center of a space that invites you to look, reflect, and capture the moment.

Look and Listen

Put on the special slippers, step onto the mirrored floor, and let yourself dream away. With an audio guide, you can listen to the story behind the wall and ceiling paintings, narrated by Faye Feller, known for her educational TikTok and Instagram channels.

The mirror floor installation was made possible with the support of the Zabawas Fund.
