On the website for the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam’s great museum, there is a series of called Ten Things. Drawn from their own collections, the curators have drawn parallels to give insights into particular aspects of their artworks and, often, to explain Dutch culture and history while showing images of the different items.
This one, Ten Things Point of View, is about the collection seen from a gender perspective. What you wear in the morning, which desk you work at or how you are photographed: ideas about gender affect everyone. However, how they are shaped varies from century to century and place to place. What do you see when you look at the Rijksmuseum’s collection with a gender take?
Take a look at all the 10 Things videos; they are all a joy to watch and you may even learn something you didn’t know before.
