Experience
Step into the city backstreets of old: smell the poverty and feel the hardship. Watch the film to see how the first colonists arrived in their new ‘paradise’ after a long difficult journey. The exhibition hall shows what came from Van den Bosch’s ambitions, and reveal how his meticulously calculated plans failed in the face of unpredictable reality. Find out what happened to The Colonies of Benevolence and come face-to-face with the unique material heritage of this social experiment.
