Museumchurch Eben-Haëzer

In the beautiful Frisian fishing village of Wierum, the Museum Church Eben-Haëzer has been located since 2003. The former Reformed church was purchased in 2002 by Jacob and Janny Bijlsma from Franeker and subsequently restored, with the aim of preserving the historic building for the environment. In the exhibition space, the outbuildings and a beautifully sheltered inner garden, a wide audience can enjoy the art collection collected by Jacob and Janny and exhibitions by contemporary artists. The permanent collection contains the life's work of painter Jo Rispens from Nes. The Museum Church is also available for lectures, workshops, performances and theatre and music performances. During the Noorderlicht Festival you can see photography and video by the Dutch artist Andrea Stultiens, who researches the photographic legacy of Dr. Paul Julien (1901-2001), who worked in Africa between 1932 and 1962. In addition, photography by American-Filipino artist Latipa and Vietnamese artist and writer Việt Lê will be on display. Together they work with an archive of National Geographic magazines to unravel the visual legacy of imperialism.
