On Sunday 28 June, we’re trading Bonnefanten Free Friday for a special Free Sunday. We’re opening the museum to the whole neighbourhood: a day filled with art, playfulness and coming together. Discover the brand new educational exhibition Born to Play (for anyone above 6 years old), wander past performances and workshops, find affordable art from the Bonnefanten Kunstuitleen (Art Lending Collection), contribute to a large community tapestry about our shared slavery past… and enjoy free vlaai (Limburg pie)!

More information will follow soon.

What are the Bonnefanten Free Fridays?

A free evening at the museum. With and for you.

Museums are the treasures of society in which past and present come together. They are the memory of the city, region and country and offer new windows to the world or enlarge the existing perspectives. Especially in this time, where everything revolves around experiencing and experiencing yourself, museums are perhaps more important than ever. They are places for reflection, wonder and astonishment, all emotions that give museums an intrinsic value. This must of course be accessible to everyone. With #BFF we hope to give more people that accessibility.

During Bonnefanten Free Fridays (#BFF), we open the doors for a free evening in the museum. Each edition, we invite a surprising association, club, foundation or sub-culture to organise a unique programme together. As a starting point for the programme, we take the collections of ancient and contemporary art or the temporary exhibitions currently on show in the museum. The programming consists of various activities, which challenge the visitor to change from spectator to participant or even co-creator.
