This ILLUME retrospective of Vermeer paintings brings together a large range of works that were featured at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam in 2023, where never before had so many Vermeers had been brought together for one exhibition. With only Vermeer 35 paintings, they are rarely lent out.

ILLUME engages mindfulness frameworks for helping build attention and focus, amplifying how one observes through heightened curiosity, tapping into the awe and wonder of artistic works through empathy and reflection, all cultivated through mindfulness and meditation techniques.

"We all know Vermeer's painting, but ILLUME helped me see it clearly for the first time; and now it will be with me for life."
