Money: the biggest threat to our cultural heritage

ACTUAL

Update: According to the Film Newspaper, it's not all that bad: http://www.filmkrant.nl/nieuws_2013/9842

It was announced today that a large archive containing almost all raw film material from the Netherlands in the shredder threatens to disappear. Since film laboratory Cineco is bankrupt due to the vanished demand for oldskool celluloid, the vault containing unique historical material must also go. Unless someone comes forward who wants to store the material. And that costs quite a bit of money. Even though we no longer work with the highly flammable nitrate films, all that plastic does need to be kept safe.

Despite the crisis, parents invest eagerly and heavily in their offspring's musical development. This is the finding of the Utrecht Centre for the Arts (UCK). Their talent development programmes are running well. "Parents now choose to spend money on this more consciously than ever. They also come along to lessons more often and let their children start at an increasingly younger age," says cello teacher Floris Dercksen.

Het Tropenmuseum is gered, dat wisten we al, maar de Tweede Kamer wilde nog weten waar dat uit betaald werd. Immers: meer geld gaat de overheid niet uitgeven, dat moeten wij doen. Enfin. Uit de beantwoording van de kamervragen door cultuurminister Jet Bussemaker blijkt dat de musea in ieder geval in 2016 5,5 miljoen minder uit kunnen geven aan kunstaankopen.…

Prachtige jurken, grote zonnebrillen en hoge hakken. Het is duidelijk dat op de voorstelling van het beroemde Moskouse theatergezelschap Theatre of Nations ook een groot Russisch publiek af is gekomen. Mannen in pak die af en toe tegen hun mouw praten lijken te getuigen van aanwezige Russische miljardairs. Maar niets blijkt minder waar als plotseling prinses Beatrix met haar gevolg de zaal binnenstapt.

Since two months, the successful children's book author Jacques Vriens can call himself the first Children's Book Ambassador of the Netherlands.
