‘Our graduates open minds to new views’
– Staff KABK
More than 220 art and design works, each with its own story from a student who has something important to share. These stories come to life during the annual Graduation Show of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK). After years of study and experimentation, students present their final projects during this exhibition.
The exhibition takes place from July 3 to July 8, 2025, and is free for everyone. However, don’t forget to book a ticket.
Opening hours
Thursday 3 July: 17.00 – 21.00h
Friday 4 July to Tuesday 8 July: 12.00 – 20.00h
The Graduation Show reflects both the personal and collective experiences of more than 220 international graduates during their time at the academy. Through their work, they showcase how they perceive the world around them, respond to it, and position themselves within it. The projects by bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD students offer profound reflections on pressing social issues, such as identity, climate change, and artificial intelligence.
During the exhibition, students’ craftsmanship takes shape in a variety of disciplines: from paintings and performances to graphic design, installations, and photography series. As you wander through the monumental academy building, you never know what you might encounter. The Graduation Show celebrates diversity and embraces the creative individual, along with all their dreams and vulnerabilities.
