'Sensing the Unseen: Step into Gossaert’s Adoration', mobile edition

Inspired by the ‘sonified painting’ at the heart of our exhibition 'Sensing the Unseen: Step into Gossaert’s Adoration', this interactive mobile experience can be enjoyed at home or wherever you are.

Explore and zoom into six scenes from Gossaert’s ‘The Adoration of the Kings’ to see the painting’s intricate detail and immerse yourself in a world of interactive sound.

Listen as six short poems in the voice of Balthasar, one of the Three Kings, bring to life the painting’s timeless themes of rupture, transformation and renewal.

This experimental experience has been optimised for use on mobile devices.
