Several Dordrecht cultural institutions, such as the Education Museum, Huis Van Gijn, the Hof van Nederland and Library AanZet will open their doors this fall vacation.
Choose which activity suits you - or your children!
Autumn at the Museum of Education
Come explore, do experiments and crafts at the Museum of Education! Experience what it's like to draw upside down, take part in the paper airplane contest or make a harmonica out of ice sticks. You can do this in the LetterLAB. There are also workshops where you can make a drawing robot or do experiments with Mad Science scientists. There is a fun activity for every age.
Experience the seasons at Huis Van Gijn
In Huis Van Gijn, people live with the seasons, just as they did around 1900. It is now autumn in the museum house. The season leaflet gives you extra information about what this time of year entailed in a household like that of the Van Gijns. Among other things, discover what rules of etiquette applied during a theater visit at that time. And there are fun old recipes to try out at home. In the kitchen, fresh fruit is canned for the upcoming winter, which goes to the pantry. In the cool cellar they store the harvested vegetables. Whereas in the summer it is quiet with visitors, in the fall the social traffic picks up. On Wednesday, Oct. 18, there will be a fun fall workshop for children.
Court of Holland told!
Experience in the Court of the Netherlands how we in the Netherlands deal with our freedoms, past and present, told from different perspectives. Based on important historical events, you will learn more about our freedoms and be challenged to better understand what freedom means to you. There is plenty to experience for young and old alike! Choose an audio tour of our Free Spirits, the Griffin tour for children or an escapetour, where you discover the museum while puzzling.
All kinds of things to do at Library AanZet!
There is plenty to do this vacation season at AanZet Library in Dordrecht. Play chess at the Crabbehof branch on October 18, discover how a story is brought to life during VoorleesHelden at various library locations and dates. Or drop by the DordtLAB in the City Library, where you can learn about the 3D printer and other techniques and make all kinds of discoveries. There are plenty of activities you can join in a moment's notice. Sometimes you just have to sign up in advance.
