Workshop: make an ode!

Were you aware that history is mostly told from a male perspective? The Amsterdam Museum believes it is high time to change this, with your help. You can enrich the city's history by making an ode to a woman who has contributed significantly to Amsterdam! This ode will become part of the Amsterdam Museum’s collection. You will be helped during the workshops on July 6 and 7.

An ode to Amsterdam women

On 6 and 7 Juli, from 15:00 to 16:45, the Amsterdam Museum is hosting a special free workshop inviting you to bring an ode to a woman who has a link with Amsterdam. This could be a public figure from history, but also your own neighbour. What role has this woman played in the city, what influence has she had on you and why does she deserve an ode? The link with Amsterdam is important in your ode.

Whether you already know who you want to pay tribute to or not, we will help you get started during this workshop. After the workshop you can submit your ode (or complete it at home first, of course).
