onderwijsmuseum

Tuesday 17 February 2026 - Dordrecht

Off to the National Education Museum with Liam, with lots of fun spring break activities.
First, we explored the beautiful building, full of adventures.
Lunch with a sausage sandwich in the restaurant.
Liam drew a rabbit on the blackboard, saw letters & numbers he recognizes everywhere.
We played shuffleboard, fished for ducks with hidden letters, and drew each other's portraits.
Liam asked, "How many times can we go here?"...

l'amour toujours

February 15th of 1986, the day we first met.
In the weeks that followed, we sent each other cards & letters, spoke occasionally on the landline and took pictures with cameras.
Love grew and we traveled by train to see each other, weekends in The Hague and Zwolle alternated.

Today, 15th of February 2026, and yes, it's really been 40 years since it all began... So much love came out of it.

fotomuseum x santos

Wednesday 11 February 2026 - Rotterdam

The Nederlands Fotomuseum reopend on 7 February 2026 in the Santos warehouse, a national monument located in the vibrant Katendrecht district of Rotterdam.

Built in 1901-1902, the Santos warehouse began life as a warehouse for coffee shipped from the Brazilian port city of Santos.

Fantastic exhibitions spread over six floors, a rooftop restaurant with panoramic views of the Rotterdam skyline. The "crown" of two additional floors with a semi-transparent facade had not yet opened.

We were before opening time and it was drizzling non-stop, so we had a hot drink and Turkish apple pie at the nearby Fenix Museum.
