Discover Beeldenfort during Open Monument Days

Experience art and heritage at the Beeldenfort

During Open Monument Day on Saturday, September 12, 2026, you can visit the Beeldenfort on the Liniepad between 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM. This is a rare opportunity, as this art fort is normally closed to the public.

Where art and history meet

The Beeldenfort is a unique combination of sculptures by Maria Glandorf and an old brick-concrete bunker. The sculptures stand in a public space, but here they are surrounded by silence and concrete. That makes the experience extra special.

Sculptures and structure

Sculptures and structures transcend trends and fashions, move through time as a silent force, and allow themselves to be experienced every now and then.

This autumn, Queen Must Go On returns to the theatre. Closer than ever. Under the title These Are The Days, the band presents an evening centering on Queen's music as we prefer to experience it: intense, recognizable, and straight from the heart. From Bohemian Rhapsody to Don't Stop Me Now, from Somebody To Love to the intimate Love Of My Life — songs you recognize from the first note and that effortlessly transport you back then.
