On this Monday we’re celebrating your visit like never before!

10 May 2024

By Froukje

There is only one Monday when we are open: Whit Monday, the Day of the Castle. On this Monday, May 20, we’re celebrating your visit like never before. Come along, be a spicy pepper, a (too) crazy banana, or that cool pear after all. The portrait we make of you, you’ll take home straight away.

Tough cookie

or Hot potato

For this beautiful Monday, Whit Monday, we invite Rotterdam’s Studio Maky with their awesome food packs. Be a happy egg, spicy pepper, cool pear, or Willy Wonka and take a photo together.

Still life

alive

With this activity, you’re not just looking at a still life, you become one. Put on the packs, determine the composition, and just laugh!

Couch potato's

and hot potato's

Still lifes may have a boring image. What a shame: old still lifes are full of hidden stories. Did you know, for example, that fruit symbolizes fertility, while exotic fruits are a sign of wealth? In this project, you can choose from typical foods of today: Rocket ice lollies, pizza slices, bottles of Magic (no, there’s no ‘g’ missing), bananas, cones of fries, and packets of Cup-a-Soup.

for a limited time

Back

Did you know that this cheerful activity was available twice before at the LAM museum? Due to popular demand, the experience is back for a limited time. Don’t miss it this Whit Monday!

Collection

What’s there

to see?

The LAM museum’s collection includes 3D images, art installations, paintings, sound art and digital art. That sounds like a lot (it is!). But there’s method in the madness: each work focuses on food, drink or shopping. Did we mention the LAM museum has the world’s largest collection of food art?

The LAM museum building itself

is arguably part of the collection

Some visitors say it’s the best work of art at the LAM museum. Designed by Arie Korbee, the raised museum looks right at home in the canopy.

Zo leuk. Mooi gebouw onder architectuur, gevarieerd aanbod, lekker fleurig. Ik... blijf mij positief verrassen. Ga hier vaker heen. Aansluitend met een wandeling door het bos.read more

Goed museum van 'Dirk' over.... (ik zal het niet verklappen) past ook niet in... de stijl van het museum. Geen infobordjes aan de muren, maar met de aardige kijkcoaches kom je een eind. Start met de lift omhoog naar de derde etage en loop rustig terug. Prima.Er is geen horeca. Maar vlakbij is er het cafetaria van kasteel Keukenhof.read more

Geweldig leuk museum! Geen hoogdraverij, maar aansprekende eigentijdse... kunstwerken die je verrassen en intrigeren. Prima app om meer te weten te komen over de kunstwerken. Maar nog leuker is het om in gesprek te raken met de verschillende enthousiaste medewerkers die overal rondlopen. Als je de tijd hebt kun je hier makkelijk 1 a 2 uur rondbrengen. Het is een prachtig gebouw in een mooie groene setting waar je leuk kunt wandelen.read more

Het LAMmuseum is een verborgen parel! Wat een prachtige collectie in een licht... modern gebouw op een geweldig mooi landgoed. Een warm welkom bij binnenkomst en je word in iedere zaal vriendelijk en op verfrissende wijze te woord gestaan door de Kijkcoaches. Hier gaat het om anders en écht kijken. Wat doet de kunst met mij? Dat levert interessante en inspirerende gesprekken op! Een aanrader voor jong en oud!read more

Het is een fantastisch museum. De medewerkers doen hun best om met jou de... kunst te beleven. We hadden inspirerende gesprekken over kunst. Je voelt je welkom.De kunst is van hoge kwaliteit, zeer goede kunstwerken soms van belangrijke kunstenaars. De keuze van het werk heeft als thema voedsel of de consumptiemaatschappij. Het is toegankelijke kunst, die je toch aan het denken zet. Anders doen de medewerkers of de interactieve app het wel.Niet twijfelen gewoon gaan ervaren.read more

LAM is a beautiful museum with a wonderful, modern art collection around the... theme of food. The approach of the "spectator coaches" is great, you learn a lot more than usual, and you have to ask the right questions. The visit to LAM takes a good hour and if you add the sculpture garden two hours. We came with a group of 22 and we were split into three groups (maximum of 10 people can enter at a time). Everyone enjoyed it and the rest of the day we kept on talking about what we had seen.read more

Great museum, very friendly and helpful staff. The current expo themed around... food showing all sorts of weird and wonderful items, and being able to sample some of the icecream afterwards was a treat.Set in the beautiful location of Keukenhof Castle, you can go for a walk around the gardens while you are there. I will definitely visit again.read more

Very unique museum ? based on consumerism. Each artwork is amazing and worth... thinking of ?read more

Awesome museum! It starts with the beautifully architecture of the building,... but then the central theme of food & consumption, the very visually appealing art and the whole concept of "just walk around and have a chat with us, or we with you" instead of endless signs turns this into an experience that myself and my 4 year old son absolutely loved!read more

Very interesting art. A mixed collection with something to everybody’s liking.... I love the way there are no signs and you have to connect with the museum staff if you want to know more about the art. Like with the artwork, you connect easier with some than others, so also on a social level very interesting. A place for everybody!read more
