“For the Nieuwe Kerk it is important that the Moroccan community in the Netherlands will visit this exhibition."

Visitor Information
The Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam organised in the winter of 2004/2005 the major exhibition "Morocco" with highlights from Moroccan museums and libraries. The exhibition, open from 17 December 2004, is also the start of the celebration of 400 years relations between Morocco and the Netherlands in 2005.

Bezoekers betrekken bij Marokkaanse kunst en archeologie
The challenge of ‘Morocco in the Nieuwe Kerk’ in Amsterdam was to touch the visitor with a collection of archaeological objects and art. To do this, we found the storyline that formed the basis of something more than a simple exhibition—an experience of ancient Morocco that would stay with the visitor long after they had left.
