Celebrate Liberation Day at a special location: the MuZEEum in Vlissingen! On this festive day, there's plenty to experience for young and old. All activities are free of charge. However, we do recommend reserving a spot in advance via info@muzeeum.nl to ensure your participation.
Freedom Soup
Between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, you are most welcome to join us for a bowl of free Freedom Soup. This special soup is based on a recipe by Janny van der Heijden. At long tables, you will not only enjoy the soup but also engage in conversation with others about what freedom means to you.
Freedom Walk
At 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM, you can join an inspiring guided walk through Vlissingen. You will discover places where freedom was regained at crucial moments and hear the stories that make this city so special.
Make your own freedom handkerchief (especially for kids)
For the youngest visitors, there's a creative activity inspired by the freedom skirts from the post-liberation period in 1945. These skirts were made from various pieces of fabric, each with its own story. At the MuZEEum, you'll get hands-on with textiles and design your own freedom handkerchief. Of course, you can take your artwork home with you! This activity takes place between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM.
Come join us, celebrate freedom, and experience a day full of meaning and good times together!
