200 years ago a large French ship named Medusa sank off the coast of West Africa. A sturdy raft was built on board, good to save up to 150 passengers. The captain sent the raft out to sea without food or water. The rich got good sloops and were quickly rescued. But the raft with all the other people bobbed around at sea for 12 days. When it was recovered by another ship, 14 people were still alive. The others had been thrown overboard, starved or even eaten. The entire exhibition is actually about this story. Sometimes the story is clearly legible in the artworks, but not always. Are you looking for Het Vlot in all artworks?
