An illustrious imitation

The Jheronimus Bosch Art Center is temporarily exhibiting the painting ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’. But it turns out to be a counterfeit! At least, that’s what a team of art historians says. “The showpiece we received from Spain turns out to be a forgery. It’s a beautiful piece of art, but fake.” Whether the painting was deliberately forged by the Spanish or it was replaced during transport is still unknown.

An employee of the Art Center discovered several mysterious figures and texts hidden in the counterfeit painting. Can you help her solve this mystery?

We really enjoyed this activity. The questions were fun and sometimes we had to think hard to solve them. The walk is clearly described and the story was well thought out. It's nice that there's no time limit, so you can stop somewhere to eat or check out a nice shop. This is the second time I've done one of your outside escapes, and it's really great fun.
