Begin the evening with a collective slow walk from Plein 1992 along the Maas towards the museum. Inspired by Chi Kung, the walk forms a ritual of connection and ends at the steps of Bonnefanten, where Bonnefanten Free Friday officially begins.
Want to join? The slow walk starts at 7:30 PM at Centre Céramique.
On Friday 12 December, Bonnefanten teams up with Het Geluid Maastricht to present a special Free Friday as part of CHI Festival Limburg.

CHI Festival Limburg
CHI Limburg is a gradually growing co-creation project by and for Limburg residents with roots in countries such as China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Moluccas, Thailand, Vietnam, West Papua, and other parts of the Pacific. The festival brings together life and family stories of Limburgers of Asian descent, creating space for their visibility, knowledge, and heritage.
CHI Festival Limburg is a project by Het Geluid Maastricht.
During Bonnefanten Free Fridays, all current exhibitions are free to visit.
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.
