Honored to now be permanently attached to The Night Watch and its incredible story. Our CEO, Gregoire Poux-Guillaume, was one of a handful of people that contribute to the restoration of the painting who were invited to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. They had the privilege of writing their names into the painting’s illustrious history by adding their signatures to the back of Rembrandt’s world famous painting. Now out of its huge frame, a new backing board has been added and the signatures were attached to this on stickers. As a main partner of Operation Night Watch, we’re playing an important role in the artwork’s extensive conservation and are now woven into its future. #AkzoNobel #OperationNightWatch #Rijksmuseum #Rembrandt #PaintTheFuture

We’re beyond proud that our Sikkens brand has played an important role in keeping a piece of history alive. After meticulous restoration work, artist Christo’s iconic outdoor work, ’56 Barrels’, is back on display in the sculpture garden at the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands. The barrels have been carefully resprayed in eight vibrant hues, in line with the original 1977 color scheme. Our sustainable Sikkens paint system means that, as well as looking great, the artwork is perfectly protected against the elements. If you get the chance, visit the museum to admire this masterpiece in all its renewed glory, and see how something as banal as a stack of oil barrels becomes a thing of beauty!
