In the Passage: Portraits by Henk Warrink

Photographer and veteran Henk Warrink shows 20 portraits of Dutch veterans. No clichés or heroic stories, but honest, black-and-white photos in which the person is central. The series Welcome Home shows who these people are, apart from their uniform. Henk photographed them in places where they feel at home, with attention and an eye for their story.

The Passage is open daily until 1am.

In the Gallery: Stories in images and sound

Veterans portray their experiences in artworks that you can view in the Gallery. Through audio fragments – compiled by the Dutch Veterans Institute and the Veterans Art Foundation – you can hear the personal stories behind the work.

The Gallery is open from Wednesday to Sunday, between 12:00 and 18:00.
