The music dome on the Marktplein in Emmen will become a municipal monument.
The mayor and aldermen have responded positively to an application from the Emmen Center Music Dome Foundation, which has owned the dome since 2015. The foundation, which is committed to the use and maintenance of the music dome, hoped to prevent any changes at the site of the dome.
With its monument status, the structure is better protected against possible interventions. For example, changes may only be made after a permit has been granted and the music dome may no longer be moved.
Before positively assessing the application, the municipality consulted Libau, the advisory committee for environmental quality. The music dome is the 76th monument on the municipal list.
