As a tribute to Schippers, this work is being shown again in the Depot. For this presentation, 390 kilos of peanut butter are spread across a hexagon measuring 25 m². The tribute can be seen from 9 July through 6 September 2026.
"Dead. Nothing to be done about it." With these short sentences, artist, program maker and voice actor Wim T. Schippers (1942–2026) bid farewell to the world. The text of his obituary fits his work well: matter-of-fact, witty and with a feel for the absurd. If there is one artwork in which all these elements come together, it's his famous Peanut Butter Floor.
You can visit the Peanut Butter Floor with a Depot ticket.
TicketsFor the realization of the Peanut Butter Floor, the museum has appointed so-called 'peanut butter plasterers'. They already applied the floor with great precision in 2011 and turned out not to be finished yet. On 2 and 3 July, armed with buckets of peanut butter and plastering tools, they got to work again to recreate the floor.
The peanut butter for the artwork was donated by Calvé. We are very grateful to them for that. Moreover, this brand was Wim T. Schippers's preferred choice. As he himself put it: "Because it spreads so nicely."
From art to crust, celebrate the peanut butter floor. Restaurant Renilde now has a delicious sourdough peanut butter sandwich temporarily on the menu. Perfect for after your visit to the Peanut Butter Floor. You can also choose between different toppings.
