Visitors and exhibition record at pop-up expo location KV02 in The Hague

In the heart of the Museum Quarter of The Hague on the Korte Vijverberg, ANNA has developed the location KV02: a pop-up location for exhibitions and presentations. For local talent but also from outside the city. In 2022, no less than 94 exhibitions were programmed and 35,766 visitors came across the floor. This meant both a visitor and an exhibition record. In the ten different rooms, spread over the building, many contemporary artists from home and abroad presented themselves. In addition, First Class Art and Pura Vida Interior exhibit permanently at this location.

“Since 2017, ANNA has been managing the former Rabobank building on behalf of Achmea. There have now been 424 exhibitions! Our starting point from the start has been to strengthen the cultural profile of the Museum Quarter. Literally next to the Mauritshuis where you can see the old masters, you can admire the newest and sometimes unknown artists. This combination is unique,” ​​says Willemijn de Boer. “For many artists, KV02 has also been a stepping stone in their career. For example, artist-couturier Peter George d’Angelino Tap. He is known for his beautiful tapestries and costumes for Splinter Chabot, Arthur and Lucas Jussen. He now exhibits in Pulchri Studio, also in the Museum Quarter. Bos fine Art and SinArts gallery have also had a permanent place with us for many years, have continued to grow and are now exhibiting elsewhere.”

KV02 can be visited for free on Thursday to Sunday from 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm. In addition, there is the possibility to organize other types of cultural activities, such as giving workshops, lectures and meet-ups. Look for the agenda at here
