Art treasures from Moroccan museums at the Nieuwe Kerk

In the winter of 2004/2005 De Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, in partnership with Antenna Audio, presents 'Morocco', a major exhibition with masterpieces from Moroccan museums and libraries. The exhibition, which opens on 17 December 2004, represents the start of celebrations in 2005 marking 400 years of relations between Morocco and the Netherlands.

For this unusual exhibition De Nieuwe Kerk has concluded an agreement with the Moroccan Ministry of Culture which provides for the participation of museums from Rabat, Tangier, Marrakech, Tétouan, Fès, Meknès, Larache, Laâyoune, and Essaouira, the Volubilis excavation and the Royal and National Libraries. Together these institutions will loan more than 300 outstanding works to De Nieuwe Kerk.

A special Audio Tour has been produced for the exhibition, which gives more valuable information about the finest works on display. It is available in Dutch, English, Berber and Arabic. The Audio Tour was made possible by the Friends of De Nieuwe Kerk and the Mondriaan Foundation.
