Old Master, New Vibe

In Rubens’ time, a cabinet was a chest or a room filled with unique artworks and objects. The Rubenshuis translates this idea into a contemporary experience with The Cabinet Sessions. Four times a year, local artists take center stage. Through bold and unconventional programming, they invite you into Rubens’ intimate world, revealing an unexpected side of the artist. Because beyond being an extraordinary talent, Rubens was also a trendsetter and innovator.

Curated to Perfection, with a Playful Edge

Each year, the Rubenshuis hands over the key to the cabinet to an inspiring curator. In 2025, musical connector B-Classic will take visitors into their world. B-Classic facilitates encounters between artists, genres, and audiences. It opens up classical music and explores how music, both past and present, is created and experienced. With an open mind, B-Classic supports artists and creators, giving them the space to create, experiment, and present.
