Children's and youth books
Art is everywhere - and always has been: from cave paintings to computer drawings. In Kijken voor kinderen (in Dutch), David Hockney, one of the greatest artists of our time, gets kids looking at art.

Whether you're seven or fourteen, Het Grote Kunst Doeboek (in Dutch) is a book you can get started with. Look for details in Rousseau's jungle, learn to draw a princess like Uccello, finish an unfinished work by Michelangelo, and give Holbein's Lady with squirrel and starling more animal friends. As you draw and look, you will learn about world-famous works. You will master drawing tricks and discover facts from the time of the painters themselves.

Discover the museum through the eyes of Nijntje in the booklet Nijntje in het museum (in Dutch). You can hear her thinking: 'And later when I'm bigger I'm going to be an artist'.
