The monumental building is not only a place full of history, but also forms the link between the medieval city, the Bosch family and the creative legacy of this world-famous painter. For art lovers, history buffs and curious visitors, this is an indispensable destination during a day in Den Bosch.
The House of Bosch was once owned by the Van Aken family - the official surname of Hieronymus Bosch - and was connected to their successful workshop. This is where Bosch grew up. He learned the craft of painting from his father and worked on his first masterpieces. Although the original interior is no longer preserved in its entirety, the building still exudes the atmosphere of the 15th century. Today, the house is open to the public as a museum and experience centre. In a number of tastefully decorated rooms, you get a special insight into the daily life of Bosch and his family, his craft as an artist and his legacy.
In House of Bosch, there are several interactive installations that take you back to fifteenth-century Den Bosch. Think digital maps, sound fragments and mini-documentaries that give context to Bosch's life. You can watch a reconstruction of the Van Aken family's studio. Here you will discover how paint was made, which techniques Bosch used and how commissions were created. You will also see personal stories about Bosch's life in Den Bosch, his religious views and how his works were received in the city. You will also learn about his connection with the Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Lady - an influential religious community of which Bosch was a member. Finally, you will see artworks and reproductions that show how Bosch brought to life his unique fantasy worlds, full of devils, fabulous creatures and symbolism.
