On Sunday 19 December, museum visitors will be treated to a duo concert of organ and cello in the former monastery chapel. The concert starts at 3 p.m. and is free for visitors with a valid ticket to the museum. Due to the current corona measures, you will be allocated a seat at the start of the concert. The number of places is limited, that’s why we only work with a mandatory reservation system for this day. Book in time to ensure yourself of a place. Reservations can be made by telephone or e-mail.
