Open Monument Day at De Wieger

On Sunday, 13 September, Museum De Wieger takes part in Open Monument Day 2026. Discover the former home and studio of physician and artist Hendrik Wiegersma and enjoy a day filled with art, history, and fascinating stories.

Explore the historic studios, stroll through the museum garden, and visit three exhibitions: Brabant Modern – Following Sluijters and Other Innovators, The Judas Kiss, and the exhibition by Karin Bos and Erik Wuthrich. Visitors can also admire – and even sit on – several sculptures by Erik Wuthrich in the garden.

Special activities include a free guided museum tour at 2:30 pm (registration at the reception desk before departure), a free children’s treasure hunt through the museum garden, and the opportunity to meet art collector Jan Geerts, who will share stories about the Brabant Modern exhibition between 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm.

Visitors can also explore the normally closed private cemetery of the Wiegersma family in nearby Vlierden, open exclusively from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm during Open Monument Day. Volunteer guides and representatives of Brabants Landschap will be present to share its remarkable history.
