2004/2007 local and national presentations

Even before the plan started, a possibility raised to use a permanent presentation location in Eindhoven, our hometown. With this we have the possibility to reach a large amount of audience in Eindhoven, and it will give the program the possibility to start a long term planning. This location is called 'The Washhouse' (Spoelhuis). It is located in the center of the city, next to the river and was part of the old Van den Briel en Verster linen factory, where previously 2B and Effenaar were situated. It is a small and modest monumental building and ideal for our activities. Here the Curiosity Cabinet (Inkijkmuseum) started. This little museum, where you can only look through the window, is officially opened in the spring of 2004. During the period the Inkijkmuseum was part of the program '80 questions around the world' it has exhibited a dozen of exhibitions, for example related to Belarus, Bosnia Herzegovina, Papua, Ruanda and Kempenland. All activities were also directly related to activities that took place in our city. It has been seen by over 100.000 people, there are almost 2500 official friends of the museum and has appeared in the local press more then 20 times.

The Washhouse functions as presentation place, workplace and office of the Foundation 80 Questions.
