Our curators regularly dive into the collections to uncover pearls and write blogs about them on our website. In the Verhalenkabinet, one of the most beautiful spaces at the Allard Pierson, a new blog is featured every few months: you can then view the object that the curator writes about yourself. In a video made especially for this small presentation, the curator talks with an expert from the field. What can an object from the past tell us today?
Change the world, not us. Allard Pierson celebrates World Pride! Pride is not only a festive moment but also a protest that calls attention to the position and rights of LHBTIQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer) people in the world. Still, in many countries it is a crime to belong to the LHBTIQ+ community. You are punishable simply for who you are or whom you love. In the Netherlands too, the rights of LHBTIQ+ people are under pressure. Non-binary people in particular face a great deal of discrimination and violence.
