The Rijksmuseum × Musée du Louvre Cross-Fellowship Programme welcomes outstanding postdoctoral researchers to submit proposals for research exploring the art and cultural history shared by France and the Netherlands, as reflected in the collections, histories, or institutional contexts of the Musée du Louvre and the Rijksmuseum. [...]

This Fellowship offers early career scholars the opportunity to conduct research into objects in the collections of the Rijksmuseum and the Musée du Louvre. Candidates are invited to submit a research proposal that draws on these objects as subject material and as sources of historical information. The Rijksmuseum × Musée du Louvre Cross-Fellowship is primarily intended for candidates whose focus is on the historical role and symbolic meaning of objects, on material culture or the societal context in which these artefacts were used. Therefore, please note that this fellowship does not welcome proposals exclusively focusing on artistic style, oeuvres or art techniques.
