Tour in sign language - For deaf and hard of hearing visitors

A few times a year one of our deaf guides will give a free tour in sign language through one of the exhibitions of the museum. We visit a different section of the museum each time. All tours are in Dutch sign language.

The guided tours take place on the dates below, visiting a different exhibition each tour:

• 6 February 2022: Parallel Lives, Paralel Aesthetics by León Ferrari and Gülsün Karamustafa
• 1 May 2022: A Lasting Truth Is Change
• 4 September 2022: collection display Delinking and Relinking

It's also possible to book Special Guests tours at different moments through reserveringen@vanabbemuseum.nl.

The Van Abbemuseum offers several free digital tours, including two in Dutch Sign Language. You can choose language settings via the dropdown menu at the top.

Introduction Tour: are you in visiting the Van Abbemuseum for the first time and would you like to start at the beginning? Watch the Introduction tour here and discover the collection display Delinking and Relinking.

Bodily Encounters Tour: what can we gain from an increased awareness of our own body? What do we learn from other people's bodies? Take this tour to find out.

This guided tour is a part of the Unlimited Van Abbe-programme of the Van Abbemuseum. With this programme we want the museum to be accessible to every curious visitor, whether you are blind or visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing. Even if you are bedridden, the museum will come to you. Unlimited Van Abbe comprises of additional activities, guided tours and modifications to improve the accessibility of the museum.
