Museumnacht 2024
2 November – 3 November 2024
7:00 p.m. – 2:00 a.m.
Experience the Oude Kerk through different senses during the 24th edition of Museum Night.
During the 24th edition of Museum Night artist Navid Nuur invites you to experience the building through different senses and step into the world of Navid Nuur. Make your own clay impression of a church detail, feel Amsterdam's oldest air, and let Navid Nuur’s Breath Box brush through your hair. Walk over the gravel installation and take a small stone with you as a memento. At midnight, hear how the organ sounds: organist Matteo Imbruno will perform a concert featuring classical, contemporary, and familiar organ music at the stroke of midnight. The pop-up OK Bar will be open all evening, with music from DJs LazerGazer (19:30-22:00), Pavel Milyakov (22:00-23:30), and Jasmín (00:30-2:00).

About the Exhibition
From 7 September 2024 until 9 February 2025/2125, the Oude Kerk presents a new large-scale, site-specific exhibition by Navid Nuur (Tehran, 1976 – lives and works in The Hague). Nuur invites you to experience the church through your senses. He peels back the layers of history of Amsterdam’s oldest building to reveal experiences rooted in the here and now: seeing, smelling, hearing, earth, air, and light. At the same time, an important part of the exhibition will only come to an end in a hundred years.
