Our Day at Open Monuments – Volunteering at Nicolas Store

As part of Open Monuments Day, we had the unique opportunity to volunteer at the Nicolaas Store for one day. This event gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how local museums operate during this special cultural celebration.

Our main responsibilities included stamping visitor cards as they entered and helping guide guests through the museum. 

Throughout the day, we met visitors from all ages and backgrounds who were curious and excited to learn about the history of the building and its exhibits.

Volunteering gave us a sense of connection to the community and to the rich history preserved in the museum. We also had a chance to learn more about the Water tower, Artisa, and a small greenhouse with a rich heritage.

Overall, it was a fun, educational, and meaningful experience that we’ll remember fondly!
