Twenty Heritage Day activities with the app

What makes a house a (real) home? Seemingly a simple question, but appearances can be deceptive. For what does that sense of home consist of? Heritage Day, on Sunday, April 21, 2024, seeks out what makes the ordinary so special, past and present.

Lots of activities use the ErfgoedApp. From the program we have already selected some ErfgoedApp-tours, -games and -walks that will challenge you to explore. Are you coming with us?
