Twee personen zitten rug aan rug op lage zitbanken in een rustige binnenruimte en lezen ieder een boek. Op de achtergrond hangt een groot, abstract kunstwerk aan de muur.

You want to read, but at home it just doesn’t happen. The screens, the noise, the full days. At the Silent Reading Party, you finally make time for it again. Just you and your book.

Come read in peace, in the middle of the museum where the exhibition Ina van Zyl: Where Are You From is on view. Bring your own book and, together with others, immerse yourself in silence for a few hours.

During the Silent Reading Party, there are no distractions and no obligations. You read, sit, or lie down comfortably, giving yourself the space to fully disappear into your book. It is precisely the shared silence that makes it special: everyone reads, each in their own world.

Afterwards, if you wish, you can share with other readers what you have read and experienced.

Discover the reading list

A reading list has been specially curated for the exhibition, featuring books that connect to the themes of Where Are You From. But you are completely free: bring whatever you feel like reading at that moment, from 'The Lord of the Rings' to the Old Testament. Everything is allowed, as long as you enjoy reading it.

Curious to discover more?

The museum offers a changing programme full of surprising activities and exhibitions. Whether you enjoy guided tours, special evening events, or inspiring workshops, there is always something that suits you. Explore what else is on offer and plan your visit.
