At 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM, you can join a special guided tour of the exhibition by architect Afaina de Jong. In her work, she shows how architecture, living, and the city can be thought of differently. During the tour, you will hear more about her vision for the future of the city.

From 14:00 to 18:00, DJ Marcel Barlag will be on the museum terrace with his folding bike, which doubles as a DJ booth. With his striking appearance and mobile turntable, he provides music on the terrace.
