  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    Museum Flehite, located in the heart of Amersfoort, offers visitors an insight into the city's rich history and culture. The museum is housed in three medieval houses, which adds to its charm and historical atmosphere.

    The exhibits cover a wide range of topics, from the city's founding to its development through the centuries. Visitors appreciate the well-curated displays that showcase local art, artifacts, and historical objects. The museum does a commendable job of presenting Amersfoort's history in an engaging manner, with informative panels and interactive elements.

    Many visitors find the temporary exhibitions interesting and diverse, adding variety to the permanent collection. The museum's efforts to blend historical content with contemporary art are generally well-received.

    However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small, which might limit the depth of information provided on certain topics. A few reviewers mention that more extensive English translations would be helpful for international visitors.

    The staff is often praised for their friendliness and knowledge, contributing positively to the overall experience. The museum's central location makes it easily accessible and a convenient stop during a visit to Amersfoort.

    While not overwhelming in size or scope, Museum Flehite provides a solid introduction to Amersfoort's history and culture, making it a worthwhile visit for those interested in local heritage.

    Ik kende Philip Haas nog niet en museum Flehite in Amersfoort heeft die omissie goed gemaakt met het retrospectief Sculpture breathes life van deze Amerikaanse kunstenaar, filmmaker en scenarioschrijver. Zijn kunde als filmmaker combineert hij met zijn talent als beeldhouwer. Hij onderzoekt de kunstgeschiedenis en transformeert beroemde werken uit de kunstgeschiedenis naar het hier en nu. Zo maakt hij een video van het beroemde plafondfresco Apollo en de continenten uit het koninklijk paleis van Würzburg dat Tiepolo daar als hofschilder creëerde. Ook de beroemde vier seizoenen van Arcimboldo krijgen dankzij Haas een nieuw leven in driedimensionale proporties. Ook recentere grootheden uit de kunstgeschiedenis passeren de revue zoals een marmeren plaquette waarin Haas de dialoog met Rene Margritte en diens werk aangaat. Virtuoos is de video over leven en werk van James Ensor. In Haas' verfilming komt niet alleen Ensor opnieuw tot leven, maar ook zijn werk, althans een markant deel ervan namelijk de groteske maskers waarmee Ensor furore maakte. Maskers die opeens het gezicht van de kunstenaar zelf vervangen. Zo gaat Haas voortdurend de dialoog met de kunstgeschiedenis aan en leert ons met hernieuwde blik naar bekende werken te kijken. Dit retrospectief -de eerste expositie van Haas ooit in Nederland- is absoluut een tripje naar Amersfoort waard.
