National Government acquires “The Council” by Erik Mattijssen

Written By Wouter van Herwaarden

We are delighted that the national government has added Erik Mattijssen’s work ‘The Council’ to its collection. The work is one of three coaches created by Mattijssen, inspired by the puppet theatre museum in Lübeck, Germany. What makes it particularly special is the location where it will be displayed: the office of the Director-General for Public Administration and the Democratic Rule of Law.
