Look no further than TextielMuseum’s newest exhibition! \nThe “Is it alive?” exhibition at the TextielMuseum in Tilburg showcases a unique mix of innovation\, textiles\, technology and art — inspired by life. \nWhat does this mean\, you ask? Well\, the exhibition is a unique interpretation of all that is living — in which artists and designers come together to showcase artwork that uses technology to reproduce movements and processes from nature. 🍃 \nSounds abstract? One of the artists explains it in this way: “If you look closely at everything around us\, how things in nature are constructed — it’s so complicated and so logical — it makes you wonder if nature is not the high-tech part in our world.” \nLiving art — and you can be a part of it!\nIn “Is it alive?”\, visitors can dive into the worlds of textiles\, technology\, and nature — while learning about their surprising interconnections and similarities. \nIt features\, among others\, a never-seen-before installation by artist duo DRIFT\, “living architecture” by Philip Beesley and interactive works by Bart Hess. Trust us\, you don’t want to miss it! \n\nWhen\, where\, how?\nReady to explore the unique art installations at the TextielMuseum? Here are all the details you need to know! \nWhere? At the wonderful TextielMuseum in Tilburg. \nWhen? From 14 October 2023 until 7 April 2024! \nHow? Easy!

SUMMARY:King’s Day (Koningsdag)

Every year\, streets are filled to the brim with Dutchies adopting orange dress\, cheerfully enjoying a biertje or two.  \nREAD MORE | 5 things to do on King’s Day to celebrate the Dutch way

SUMMARY:Sint-Maarten (Dutch Halloween)
DESCRIPTION:If you were disappointed by the lack of Halloween parties\, Sint-Maarten celebrations may make up for it! Some Dutch cities take this seriously\, with parades\, bonfires\, and lantern tours. Sint-Maarten is an exciting day\, especially for children. Pumpkins\, turnips\, and beetroot are turned into spooky lanterns\, and kids sing songs in exchange for fruit and sweets. If you want to impress your Dutch friends\, give this song a go:  \n🇳🇱 “1 november is de dag\, dat mijn lichtje\, dat mijn lichtje branden mag”.  \n🇬🇧 “November 1 is the day\, that my light\, that my light\, may burn.” \nREAD MORE | Halloween in the Netherlands: the ultimate [and spookiest] guide for 2022 \n

SUMMARY:Sinterklaas
DESCRIPTION:Sinterklaas is one holiday where the Dutch go all out on big celebrations and exciting traditions.  \nWhile the youngsters sit their shoes under the chimney to receive chocoladeletters (chocolate letters) and other sweet treats\, the adults can celebrate the holiday by giving out tailored gifts or writing poems. You’ll find the popular kruidnoten and pepernoten to satisfy your sweet tooth in all the different supermarkets (even Kruidvat). In most towns\, you’ll be able to enjoy the Sinterklaas parade with the man himself roaming the streets together with his helper Zwarte Piet — a figure that has been the site of some controversy in recent years. \nREAD MORE | Sinterklaas for expats: all the Dutch you need to make it through the holiday season
