We're delighted to be shortlisted for the Museums and Heritage Awards 2020 for our Rembrandt No Filter display which marked the 350th anniversary of the artist's death.
The display placed Rembrandt's celebrated 'Self-Portrait with Two Circles' alongside our visitors' selfies to explore the artist's own self-scrutiny against the filtered images of the 'selfie' age.
Did you get a chance to visit the display? Let us know in the comments!
@kenwood_house_hampstead_heath curators have been shortlisted for a Museum and Heritage Award @MandHShow #MandHShow in the category Innovation of the Year. Our congrats to @EHKenwood for their inspired small exhibition Rembrandt #nofilter the only one of all the shows celebrating #Rembrandt which used digital to ask viewers via a #selfie to question what is a self portrait.
It ran from 4 Oct 2019, the date Rembrandt died in 1669 to 14 Feb 2020 and was generously supported by #friendsofkenwood @friendsofkenwood
.
