The year 2024 marks the 400th anniversary of the founding of Fort Orange, the first permanent Dutch settlement that developed into the present-day city of Albany. To commemorate this milestone, the Albany Institute has developed this exhibition centered around a partnership with The Leiden Collection, one of the preeminent private collections of seventeenth-century Dutch paintings in the United States. In addition to twenty paintings from The Leiden Collection, Delights of the Senses will include several prints from the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College, along with objects from First Church, Albany, Friends of Historic Kingston, Historic Huguenot Street, Historic Hudson Valley, the New York State Museum, and from the rich holdings of the Albany Institute. The exhibition will present paintings and objects that examine seventeenth-century Dutch culture through the five senses.
