Exhibition on thirty years of Bijlmer air disaster in Amsterdam Museum | Book & Culture
The Amsterdam Museum will open an exhibition about the Bijlmer air disaster in September. Almost thirty years ago, on October 4, 1992, an El Al cargo plane crashed into the Bijlmerflats Groeneveen and Klein-Kruitberg.
By our entertainment editorsThe exhibition is based on stories of Amsterdammers: their feelings, how they coped with the disaster and how different generations process the trauma.
For this exhibition, the museum is collaborating with Imagine IC, a museum and archive in the Bijlmer. Not only old newspaper pages, children’s drawings, videos and works of art, but also two wreckage of the crashed Boeing 7 will be on display.
there is a photo and video exhibition about the famous RoXY nightclub in the museum. The club burned down the day in 1999 co-founder Peter Giele was buried. Former house photographer Cleo Campert shares her images from that time. There is also a small exhibition about the housing crisis in the capital.
The Amsterdam Museum is being renovated and is temporarily housed in the Hermitage aan de Amstel. There the museum exhibits part of the permanent collection and provides changing exhibitions under the name Gathering the City.
The three exhibitions together form the second edition of that project. They will start on September 25 and last until May 23, 2023.
