Hold On: Identity and Intimacy in Late-Medieval Books of Hours (Hou vast)
This collection is part of a demonstration of how Lera presents knowledge events. The event below is real and is run by its own organiser; Lera has no connection with it. Check the date, programme and conditions on the event’s official page.
Books of hours, the personal prayer books of the late Middle Ages, are among the most intimate objects of European written culture. Rijksmuseum Meermanno shows more than thirty of them from its own collection.
They are shown alongside work by women and queer artists of today, and the exhibition asks through this pairing how a book holds identity and intimacy. It runs until 28 February 2027, open from 11:00 to 17:00.
