Works of art are nice to look at, while also encouraging us to reflect or indulge in our imagination. Are you up for quietly examining a painting and putting your thoughts to paper? Our suggestions for creative writing assignments provide tips and food for thought, and the rest is up to you! Let your words flow – at home or at the museum – and let us join in on your ideas. We look forward to hearing what you have to say! Try it today with a work from the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum.

Summer break has begun, and many of us are going on holiday. Some may travel to one of our neighbouring countries to enjoy the sea. In any event, Simon de Vlieger’s painting The beach at Scheveningen is ideal for the summer holidays. Get inspired and embark on your own creative writing excursion with this work of art.
