The exhibition 'Uit het Paradijs. Kunst, mythologie, psychologie' (From Paradise.

The exhibition features a diverse array of works, from graphic art by Salvador Dalí and Rembrandt to video art by Juul Kraijer and Guido van der Werve, alongside medieval sculptures and contemporary pieces like 'Joshua Trees' and vast spiral paintings.
