The Art Centre is housed in the former church of St James, an imposing building recognisable from afar by its tall tower. As soon as you step inside, you are literally in the light of Bosch: colourful projections fill the vaulted ceiling, while gothic arches and stained-glass windows set the scene for an art experience like no other. The church space has been transformed into an immersive museum, where the work of Hieronymus Bosch is presented in a monumental way - with full-size reproductions, detailed explanations and interactive elements. Bosch's original work hangs scattered around the world, from Madrid to Vienna, but here his visions come together in a unique total experience.
At the Art Centre, you will find life-size reproductions of all of Bosch's famous works, including The Garden of Delights, The Last Judgement and The Chamber of Mars. The scale allows you to discover details you have never seen before on books or screens. An audiovisual tour takes you into Bosch's world - his symbolism, satirical outlook on life and the moral lessons hidden in his fantastic scenes. In addition, the tower climb is an experience in itself: at the top, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of Den Bosch, exactly as Bosch once saw it - with the winding Binnendieze, the silhouette of St John's and the characteristic red roofs. Finally, in the crypt under the church, you will find a quieter, almost meditative space, which includes changing exhibitions and temporary art projects.
The Jheronimus Bosch Art Center is not just an exhibition, but a cultural knowledge centre. It organizes regular lectures, workshops and educational programs for both adults and children. There is also a particular focus on Bosch's influence on modern artists - as his work continues to inspire to this day, from Salvador Dalí to street artists.
