Exhibition 'Leiden Celebrates - 450 Years of Parades' in Museum De Lakenhal
Celebrating together is of all times. Parades are the perfect form for that. They create togetherness and a shared identity. When society changes, parades change with it - for example, from elitist to democratic, from divided to united or vice versa. This makes parades a mirror of society. With the exhibition Leiden Celebrates - 450 years of Parades, Museum De Lakenhal, together with the city and the university, celebrates Leiden's rich tradition in this field - a tradition that is still alive and kicking. We also look ahead to the future.
