Celebrate

The Princessehof is going to celebrate for an entire year! Our new and wide-ranging exhibition illustrates how parties are celebrated all over the Netherlands.

What's on?

From Passover and Ketikoti to Carnival and Divali. What do we celebrate, with whom and how? Find out through a variety of festive tables, dishes and stories. Based on twelve different celebrations, the Princessehof presents a rich palette of personal, religious and cultural celebrations and commemorations that mark important moments in life. The exhibition features the children’s festival, Lunar New Year, Carnival, Passover, a students’ party, a birthday, a selamatan, a wedding, Eid al-Fitr (Sugar Festival), Ketikoti, Divali and Christmas. Celebrations vary widely, but food and drink almost always play an important role and so do ceramics.
