Pop-up presentation: Colonial The Hague, an unfinished past

  • Date: 07 July
  • Location: Centrale Bibliotheek, 2e verdieping

During this temporary exhibition, the Hague Historical Museum presents some stories from the exhibition Koloniaal Den Haag, an unfinished past.

Anyone walking through The Hague will encounter traces of the colonial past everywhere. Just think of buildings such as the former Ministry of Colonies, or the many Indian and Surinamese restaurants and the street names in the Bezuidenhout and the Archipel neighborhood. The composition of The Hague's population also makes this past visible.

The Hague Historical Museum dwelt on this past in 2023 with the exhibition Colonial The Hague, an unfinished past. From June 24 to July 7, 2024, some stories from this exhibition can be viewed in a presentation in the Central Library. Want to relive the entire exhibition? Then click here.
