Programme Bureau Europa

Saturday, September 14th: 11:00 AM | Eau, Eau, Mestreech | Remco Beckers and Joes Minis (Dutch). What is the most important river in Maastricht? An obvious answer? Less so than you might think, because it's not the Meuse. Did you know that there is an underground aqueduct in Maastricht? That fish can climb stairs there? That you can have a sea view? That you can breach the city wall with water? Learn more with this Maastricht water walk! Departure from Bureau Europa | 5 km | 2 hours

Sunday, September 15th: 11:00 AM | On Facades and Glaziers | Max Slangen (Dutch). We always look through glass but rarely at glass. It is a building material that is ubiquitous today, but in the past, it was anything but common. In the past, church windows told stories about who we are and how we should behave; today, the symbolic layers of the material speak about our health, our privacy, our nature. A glass building is both there and not there at the same time – the architecture appears and disappears. This walk guides you along the finest glass facades and most colorful stained glass works in Maastricht. Discover that our city is full of the most beautiful glass stories. Departure from Bureau Europa | 5 km | 2 hours

But there's much more. Check out the full program on the Open Monument Days website!
