Medusa, Valkhof Museum, Nijmegen, December 11, 2026 – May 9, 2027

Medusa connects.

Beauty and monstrosity

Vulnerability and strength

Life and death

Earth and water

Human and more-than-human

It was by the sea that Margriet Smulders met Medusa.

From the text Tentacles of Light, Marie Stel, 2026
