In our city there are young people who can bear witness to war, hunger and dictatorships. Newcomers, who have come to our country as refugees. In a time in which more is spoken about them rather than with them, their stories are worth hearing.
Donors tend to fade into the background behind the objects they have given to the museum. But to celebrate our anniversary, we brought them out into the limelight. Photographer Koen Broos turned his camera on 10 of them: one for each year of the museum’s existence.
Are you visiting the museum on your own or as a couple? Do you want to take part in a guided tour? Every last Sunday of the month, you can follow our guide. Be welcome!
