During Bonnefanten Free Fridays (#BFF), we open the doors for a free evening at the museum. With and for you.

Bonnefanten Free Friday:
October 18

Date: Friday, October 18
Time: 20:00 – 23:00
Entrance: free

On 18 October, Bonnefanten Free Friday is all about the 7 deadly sins with the opening of the brand new exhibition Truly Wicked: The Seven Deadly Sins visualised.

Expect an evening full of art, music and surprising interactions! Share your deepest thoughts, from poetic confessions to a theatrical tribute to the biggest sinners. Also visit the world's smallest brown pub, where the bartender offers a listening ear with a drink.

For the creative, there is a workshop where you will make 3D creatures inspired by the extraordinary figures from the Bruegel prints. In addition, you can attend lectures on the seven deadly sins. Philosopher Rob Compaijen will take you through an interactive lecture on envy, while psychiatrist Esther van Fenema will discuss the impact of the deadly sins on our modern society.

The evening will be framed musically by unique compositions by students of Conservatorium Maastricht, inspired by the Bruegel prints. Finish with a visit to our photobooth or try your luck at our live scratch card.

Make sure not to miss this sinful evening!

Later this year

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.
