Leiden feiert - 450 Jahre Paraden

Leiden ( NL) > 24.09.2024 - 02.03.2025

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.

Leiden as a parade city

Nowhere else in our country has the genesis of the Netherlands been celebrated as exuberantly as in Leiden. Ever since Leiden's Relief on October 3, 1574 and the founding of the university on February 8, 1575, parades have been organized in the city. With the exhibition Leiden Celebrates - 450 Years of Parades we look back on this rich history.
