Video Duration 26 minutes 00 seconds
The head of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum discusses what art tells us about the past and what it means to future generations.
Humanity has tried to define and debate what art is for centuries. And perhaps those definitions are driven by our desperate need to better understand our existence.
