Play Van Abbe comprises four different parts and three transition periods, when the entire museum is on the move, bustling with installation activity and preparations for the next episode. During this Transition you are invited to take part in the real-time, behind-the-scenes aspects of the art museum. This will allow you to experience the museum via backstage corridors, exchange views with artists, curators and technical crew members and closely observe the installation processes.
