Show your most creative side during Coming Out Week in a free flash workshop in the Golden Hall of the Mauritshuis.

Under the guidance of artist Valentijn Hamel, you will practice life drawing with the Trojan hero Achilles as inspiration. In the painting by Gerard de Lairesse, Achilles is depicted in women's clothing. Why? You'll discover that during the workshop.
