"THE MUSEUMS OF HOLLAND, UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA COURSE"
January, 2005

In conjunction with the L'Art Nouveau, The Bing Empire exhibition a two week course was organized for eighteen University of Minnesota undergraduate and graduate students. Each day there were sessions in various Dutch institutions, often times where members of the curatorial professional staff discussed their programs and their work with the students such as the van Gogh letters publication project. At the same time, students had an opportunity to study the actual collections in such places as the Van Gogh Museum, the Mesdag Museum and the Panorama Mesdag, the Mauritshuis (in the Hague), the Kröller-Muller Museum (Otterlo), the Singer Museum in Laaren, the Teylers Museum in Haarlem (the oldest museum in Holland), the Frans Hals Museum (Haarlem) and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Toward the end of the course the students attended an international art historical symposium surrounding the role and influence of S. Bing on developing the movement known as Art Nouveau. Students were also able to visit and study the Bing exhibition that was installed at the Van Gogh Museum during this same period of time. Each student was responsible for completing a detailed paper on various aspects of the program directly relating to his/her own interests. The images that follow chronicle the various sessions in the course itself.
