The Rijksmuseum are opening their latest exhibition Metamorphoses on Friday.

According to their website:

This classic from antiquity has been read and reinterpreted by artists for centuries. In the major spring exhibition Metamorphoses, you dive into Ovid’s two-thousand-year-old poem about vengeful gods, ingenious heroes and high-minded mortals.

Metamorphoses brings together over 80 masterpieces from museums and collections around the world. From Titian, Correggio, and Caravaggio to Rodin, Brancusi, Magritte, and Bourgeois. The exhibition features paintings, sculptures, goldsmith’s work, and ceramics, alongside contemporary photography and video art. It is a special collaboration with the Galleria Borghese in Rome.

The show will run from 6th February until 25th May 2026.
