Thanks to medical developments, improved healthcare and a healthier lifestyle, the Dutch are living longer. Over the past 70 years, the average age has increased by 10 years. As a result, everyone from before 1950 is now older than their life expectancy at birth. What is it like to live in that extra time? Henk Leenaers asked his father and his neighbours in the Amsterdam Plantage neighbourhood – all older than expected.

Dokhuis Galerie is open every Thursday from 18:00 to 23:00. 

Do you want to attend the festive opening on 15 May at 16:00? Then register with Henk Leenaers.
