The Waag in Deventer is once again open with the exhibition 'Personal Stories about the Deventer Collection'. This surprising exhibition focuses on the Deventer heritage collection. The rich history of Deventer as a city of trade, craftsmanship, and innovation is brought to life authentically through the personal stories of nine residents of Deventer. Studio Groen+Schild, in collaboration with Studio Koster van Lienen, developed the concept and design. In addition to the collection, the space plays a key role in the exhibition. The exhibition walls and showcases are placed on pedestals and offer surprising perspectives. This creates an exciting backdrop for both the historical space and the heritage collection. The colors of the stained glass windows served as the basis for the color palette of the twelve colors used. Light colors on the exterior and more saturated colors on the interior. The cans and bicycles are placed autonomously and form their own space of structure, form, and color.
