Exhibitions
The major exhibitions held in De Nieuwe Kerk each winter are devoted to treasures from other countries and cultures. In the last few years, the exhibition policy has been expanded to include a "world religion" theme. Striking exhibitions like Islam, The Black Pharaohs, The Way to Heaven, and Mexico - journey to the land of the gods, were for many a first exciting glimpse into these religions and cultures.
At other times throughout the year, De Nieuwe Kerk collaborates on exhibitions with other Dutch museums: in this capacity, Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum held a two-year exhibition in De Nieuwe Kerk. And the Rijksmuseum, which cannot currently house any temporary exhibits due to extensive renovations, has been invited by De Nieuwe Kerk to organize exhibitions in 2006 and 2007 at Dam Square.
