The exhibition brings together art from the 17th century to the present day, offering a fresh perspective on the objects that surround us every day.
Discover the art in everyday objects
A bowl of fruit, a bouquet of flowers or a set table may seem quite ordinary at first glance. Yet these motifs have been used in art for centuries to tell stories about everything from wealth and pleasure to transience and new beginnings. The exhibition invites you to explore the many details and meanings hidden behind these familiar objects.
From lavish displays to modern interpretations
