What is your hidden gem in the Plantage?
“For me, it’s Plantage Dok. I take guitar lessons there, and every time I’m struck by how much creativity comes together in that place. There are musicians, lectures, people meeting each other and people sharing meals. It has a very open and relaxed atmosphere. To me, Plantage Dok shows what a cultural space can also be: a place where people come together to develop ideas, but above all to do and create things together. That’s what I want for the Wereldmuseum too. Samenwerken – working together. That may well be my favourite Dutch word. When we as organisations create things together, it’s not just the museum that flourishes, but the whole neighbourhood. I truly believe in that.”
