Drawing In/With/Out the Museum



Over course of the 22nd to the 28th of April, 2026, I conducted 5 fieldvisits to 5 different museums, four in Amsterdam and one in Leiden. During these visits I would approach different objects and engage with them through illustration. I also photographed these items and their labels as reference for later. Upon returning home, I logged the items so I could find back to them, and also wrote a reflection note regarding the day’s experiences.
