During Open Monumentendag (Heritage Day), thousands of monuments in the Netherlands are opened to the general public in order to increase public interest in monuments and support preservation. Entrance is mostly free. Also special activities are organised. In Eindhoven for exmaple, the former Philips building at Boschdijk can be visited.
The theme of the annual Open Monument Day 2023 is ‘Living Heritage” and will take place in the weekend of Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September. The Architectuurcentrum Eindhoven (Architecture Centre) is the local committee responsible for the programme of the day in Eindhoven.
