In just a few days, BlowUp Jubilee, the anniversary edition of the popular inflatable art exhibition in The Hague’s Museum Quarter, will come to an end. Visitors who have not yet seen the monumental artworks – or who wish to experience them one last time – can combine this with Kunstsnacks this coming Sunday, June 21, a day of discovery visiting thirteen cultural hotspots in the heart of The Hague.
Since its opening on May 22, BlowUp Jubilee has drawn thousands of visitors to the Museum Quarter, stimulating and surprising them there. Spread throughout the area are twenty monumental inflatable artworks by national and international designers, including Marcel Wanders, Studio Job, Raw Color, Kiki & Joost, and Steve Messam. With this anniversary edition, BlowUp Art The Hague celebrates its fifth anniversary.
Colorful decor
On Sunday, June 21, the exhibition serves as the backdrop for Kunstsnacks. Between 12:00 and 17:00, visitors can get acquainted with thirteen cultural institutions in the Museum Quarter with a single ticket. The Kunstsnacks program consists of short, accessible activities of no more than half an hour, allowing visitors to create their own ideal cultural route.
The program includes cabaret performances at Theater Pepijn and the Royal Theatre, workshops at the Mauritshuis and West The Hague, short guided tours, a mini escape game in the Gevangenpoort, culinary snacks inspired by books from the Huis van het Boek collection, an exhibition featuring work by former students of the KABK (Royal Academy of Art), and musical performances at unique locations in the area.
Double cultural program
As visitors walk from one cultural location to another, the gigantic inflatable artworks of BlowUp Jubilee form a striking common thread running through the area. This makes June 21st a unique opportunity to experience two cultural events at once.
BlowUp Jubilee can still be visited daily for free until Sunday, June 21, 2026, in the Museum Quarter in The Hague. A ticket is required for Kunstsnacks. Tickets cost 20 euros (15 euros for students) and are available via museumkwartier-denhaag.nl .
