Things That Matter

The exhibition looks at important things and the importance of things: objects of great personal meaning that are closely tied to current social topics such as migration and origins. Ten questions guide the show, with objects from the museum collection where someone shares a personal story.

The storytellers come from the Netherlands and far beyond. Jörgen Raymann talks about the mixing of different religions in his family, while activist Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner voices her concerns about sea level rise and its effect on her culture. More about the ten questions can be read on the museum website.
