The Heersink House for Intangible Heritage
Intangible heritage connects us with the past, our environment and each other. It inspires and offers tools to take on new challenges. That is why intangible heritage is now given a permanent place in the Dutch Open Air Museum: the Heersink House for Intangible Heritage, so that you can come into contact with it more consciously.
The exhibition: a journey through intangible heritage
The exhibition explores three fundamental themes that together illustrate what intangible heritage is, why it is valuable, and how it evolves over time. At the end of your visit, you can share any intangible heritage you felt was missing by writing it down in a large ‘idea box.’ These three themes are presented through interactive exhibition displays, inviting visitors to engage with intangible heritage in a dynamic way.
This permanent exhibition, located on the first floor of the Houtloods, is named after Marnix Heersink, a loyal donor and lover of intangible cultural heritage.
