On the afternoon of June 4, 2026, Queen Máxima opened the newly renovated Valkhof Museum in Nijmegen. Nijmegen is located along the former northern frontier of the Roman Empire. The new permanent exhibition, People on the Border (Mens op de grens), tells the stories of people living in and around Nijmegen, from prehistory to the present day.
Queen Máxima officially opened the museum and toured the collection. She also met with the architects, designers, and several artists involved in the project. The museum presents stories at the crossroads of different eras, people, cultures, and ideas.
Highlights of the collection include what is believed to be the world’s oldest toy figurine, a Roman face mask, a diorama of a Surinamese plantation, and footage of the Nijmegen protests of the 1980s. The opening exhibition is a presentation by Spanish artist Fernando Sánchez.
Was the hat really necessary! but good on her being the busiest Royal on the blog, so she deserves the long holidays many weeks at the world cup.
ReplyDeleteMax has really lost his way a bit lately; no flattering outfits, sloppy, and the hairdresser has left as well.
