The traveling exhibition Helmen vol Verhalen will stay two months longer at the Johan Willem Frisokazerne in Assen. The exhibition with art about military missions was supposed to end here after this week, but has now been extended until the end of January.
“Due to success, we are going for an extension here in Assen,” says organizer Amy van Son, herself a navy veteran. “Since mid-September there have been about a thousand visitors from inside and outside the barracks gate,” she says enthusiastically.
According to Van Son ‘a nice number’. “But we would still like to give even more people the opportunity for this unique look behind the scenes at the JWF barracks, a closed place where you normally do not enter so easily,” says Van Son.
There is also a subsidy application for this exhibition waiting at the province of Drenthe. The money is needed to cover the costs for transport of the 22 art objects and the supervision of visitors by volunteers, among other things. “Because just passing through the Defense Gate for this exhibition is not possible.”
