Museum night in Friesland: A success with shine and audience!

On Saturday, September 28th, Friesland experienced the annual museum night, an event that not only attracted those interested in art and culture, but also brought families and friends to the museums. Over 25 museums opened their doors at a later hour, including the popular Grutterwinkel. Visitors were able to discover the museum from 7:00 p.m. and look forward to a varied program.

A highlight of the evening was the show "Lets Get Mental" by Douwe Dijkstra, which was performed at 7:30 p.m. and again at 9:30 p.m. This performance was not only entertaining, she also addressed some deeper human issues and captivated the audience. The program was supplemented by live music from the Singer songwriter Haitze de Vries, who presented its own songs between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. His melodies were very well received and filled the room with a pleasant mood.

successful third edition

This year's museum night was the third of its kind and was under the motto "Glow in the Dark". At the previous event, the organizers counted more than 4000 visitors. People's great interest also became clear in the Grutterwinkel, where the number of visitors exceeded the expectations. The museum was quickly full, and the attractions, especially the sweets in the museum shop, found rapid sales.

The Dijkstra show was sold out twice, which emphasized the popularity of the evening. The Haitze de Vries concert also attracted numerous spectators who listened to his performances. Such events are not only an opportunity for entertainment, but also a way to promote cultural heritage and local artists.

For a detailed summary of the evening and interview with Douwe Dijkstra, Haitze de Vries and Peter Polhuis, the chairman of the museum, interested parties can consult Omroep Leeuwarden. A video by Ana Wenzler also gives a lively impression of the event and the enthusiastic viewers.

The museum night in Friesland has established itself as an integral part of the cultural calendar and shows how important it is to make art and history accessible to a wider audience. The positive response and the high number of visitors are a clear sign that such events not only enrich the cultural landscape, but also bring together the community.
