BlowUpArt

From 22 May to 21 June 2026, The Hague city centre will once again be transformed into a dynamic open-air museum with BlowUp Jubilee – a high-profile anniversary edition of the much-loved BlowUp Art exhibition. This special edition celebrates the fifth anniversary of the iconic inflatable artworks and, for the first time, brings together all the highlights from recent years in one grand visual spectacle.

Grand Art Jubilee in the Heart of The Hague

The concept: art that embraces air and space

BlowUp Jubilee is a unique open-air exhibition where air, colour and design take centre stage. Throughout the Museum Quarter—particularly around Lange Voorhout and the Hofvijver—playful and monumental artworks demonstrate how art can engage with scale, lightness and unexpected forms.

The installations, created by both national and international artists, range from whimsical to strikingly monumental.

A look back and ahead

This anniversary edition marks a significant milestone: all iconic BlowUp works from the past five years return, offering visitors a comprehensive overview of the evolution of this popular art project. Previous editions of BlowUp Art attracted thousands of visitors and generated substantial international media attention.

With BlowUp Jubilee, the organisers build on this success by presenting monumental artworks directly within the public realm—freely accessible to visitors of all ages.

Artists and Works

BlowUp Jubilee showcases works by leading artists and designers, including:

  • Raw Color
  • Marcel Wanders
  • Studio Job

The exhibition is curated by Mary Hessing and forms part of BinnenhofBuiten, a wide-ranging cultural programme designed to maintain a vibrant cultural calendar in The Hague during the renovation of the Binnenhof. The programme aims to keep the city lively while strengthening the connection between the public, the Museum Quarter and the arts. BlowUp Jubilee stands out as a radiant highlight within this ambition. BinnenhofBuiten is an initiative by The Hague & Partners in collaboration with the Municipality of The Hague.
