Exhibition Bijlmer air crash
These city conversations take place within the framework of the Collecting the City program line, in which the Amsterdam Museum on the Amstel collects stories about and with the city. On the occasion of 30 years of the Bijlmer air disaster, we are co-creating an exhibition this year in collaboration with Imagine IC, in which we commemorate this event city-wide. This will be on display at the Amstel 51 from September. The stories of residents, relatives and those involved in the disaster are central to this.
