University Museum Groningen

This year, the University of Groningen is celebrating its 410th birthday. Much has been collected since the founding of the University of Groningen in 1614. In 1934, the University Museum was established in order to bring together these historical collections. The exhibition Kaleidoscope. Hidden Treasures from the University Collection reveals hidden treasures from this wondrous collection. Kaleidoscope takes you on a journey through different areas of science and shows the rich academic history through more than 200 unique objects.

Creating something and being able to share it with the audience, the freedom to sing and play what she likes: that is the beauty of music for Emily Putman. Music can come to everyone in a different way and is connected to what is going on in someone's life. She hopes to take people along with the melodies and the stories behind both her self-written songs and covers.

Want to learn how to take beautiful photos with your phone?

Plus, lots of tips and tricks will be shared to take your photos to the next level.

Teun de Vries finds many things difficult and does not fail to make that clear to the audience. He desperately wants to know what this life is really about, and likes to take people with him on his quest full of thought experiments, characters and anxious cries. Often this only leads to more confusion, but that is best left between us. Teun is above all a sensitive boy.

Get into the festivities! Vanja will give you a make-up with glitters to pretty you and your friends up for the night!
