Sun 12 Sep
Repeated because of great demand! De Lakenhal collects memories of the 3rd of October.
Nowhere in The Netherlands is a historical commemoration experienced more vividly than in Leiden. This is why De Lakenhal is very interested to hear about the memories of the people of Leiden of this extraordinary day. The museum thinks a contemporary view on the festivities is of great importance to the exhibition and all the residents of Leiden and the surrounding area can help us depict that.

‘WORK IN PROGRESS'
Museum De Lakenhal will have its largest exhibition ever in 2010! The museum will empty its storerooms. All the objects stored will be thoroughly examined right in the heart of the museum. An assembly line – called ´the street´ - runs through the exhibition rooms along which museum staff, curators and specialists are working on the objects passing by. The most beautiful pieces will then be on display in the museum.
From Tuesday until Friday Delft blue, coins, antique tiles, jewellery and other special objects roll slowly by. One by one they are examined, measured, cleaned, registered and photographed.The most striking and beautiful objects will be given a special place in the museum. You can directly watch the whole process over the shoulders of our experts. And think along with us too! We appreciate your opinion very much and like to hear what you think of it all. Either on location or sent by email
