Together with Nicole Uniquole, Paleis Soestdijk is organizing a major autumn exhibition in 2023. Paleis Soestdijk also owes its illustrious status to the women who have been happy to spend their summers here over the past centuries. In the exhibition 'The women of Soestdijk', the rich past of this palace, combined with beautiful portraits, photos, contemporary fashion, design and craftsmanship, will be on display in detail.
In this exhibition you can also admire three objects on loan from Steltman Juwelier:
