Exhibition 'The Canon of Dutch History' in Dutch Open Air Museum
Based around 50 windows to the past, the Canon of Dutch History leads you through the most important events, people and objects that have helped shape the Netherlands we live in today.
The Canon exhibition
Spectacular ‘film sets’, flowing one into another, tell stories from the Canon, spread across 10 successive periods of history. In the exhibition you will come face to face with historic figures from each era. You will get to know them and their world through games, animations and films. And, of course, through objects – evidence of their stories that has survived the passage of time. In the film room you can learn about the origins of the Netherlands and its population, climate and geography, while, in the final room, there is a wealth of information about the entire Canon to explore on an 18-metre-wide touchscreen.
