The Upper Room – the free place for young and old at the Bommel van Dam museum

Step into the mind of an artist, discover how inspiration is born, and get hands-on in The Upper Room: the brand-new attic studio of the Bommel van Dam museum.

Create your own inspiration booklet
In a museum, you often only see the final result – paintings, sculptures, and other artworks that are completely finished. But what comes before that? What goes on in an artist's mind during the creation process?

In The Upper Room, you discover where ideas begin. Collect images from the museum's collection that speak to you and compile them into your own inspiration booklet – the starting point of your creative journey. Artists Yasser Ballemans, Sigrid Calon, and Pavèl van Houten have gone before you and show how they translated their inspiration into three new artworks.

Where will your imagination take you? That's entirely up to you!
