Musis is the main concert hall of Arnhem, home of het Gelders Orkest (known as the Arnhem…read morePhilharmonic Orchestra in English). Known formerly as 'Musis Sacrum', Latin for 'Dedicated to the Muses', it was originally built in 1847 and was expanded in 1888-90. The main orchestra hall is built on the model of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, complete with the names of famous composers along the balcony. The Gelders Orkest plays here almost every week but there's also many other concerts and events happening so make sure to check the schedule. The Musis is currently undergoing renovation, and a whole recital hall and foyer are currently being built on the park side of the building, this is expected to be finished in 2017. The building also houses the Mahler cafe, a bistro-cafe where you can grab lunch, coffee, or a pre-concert meal.

I am at Parookaville right now. It is an absolute clusterf*ck!! Definitely avoid it like the…read moreplague. I have been to fests all over the world, and this one is one of the worst. The traffic is an absolute nightmare (2.5 hours to get here from the only official hotel, 40 km away). The main stage is "full" halfway into Saturday night. Not only does this mean that half the fest is inaccessible to everyone not already at the mainstage (or one of the other 3 stages near main), it also means that people cannot even get access to the lockers. Given that our hotel key and raingear are in the lockers and we are trying to leave in a rainstorm, this is a complication. Organization is absolutely nonexistent, prices are bloated, and it all feels like a scam. They also have an absurd cup deposit scheme, where you pay a 25-50% deposit for the cup. But each bar has slightly different cups, and they will not refund a deposit for a cup from a different bar. All in all, this has been a tremendous disappointment and shockingly bad on all fronts.

We were disappointed how was everything organized. Zero information plates where to go, after you…read moreparked your car. We did not know that from parking we should take a shuttle bus (nobody informed us) and just were walking to the direction where was a music. I think we walked about 700m and some auto with a staff approached us to inform that if we want to find a festival entrance, we need to back and follow to a shuttle bus stop. Great, thank you... but how we can find a bus stop?! There was not any sign to recognize this place (we arrived at 8 pm and it was not much people around us). Finally we were in the bus, with closed windows and without air-condition, when outside was +30. By the way we were waiting for a bus for 15 minutes.... Can you imagine how many people want to join the shuttle bus after festival? I assume they spent not less than 1 hour in a line. Dear management, do you really think it should work like this?! Toilets area were very smelly from the big distance and also crowdy. Why do not add more toilets in advance, if you expect thousands of people?!... Parookaville is a nice event (beautifully built and huge), but organized pretty basic (I speak about information plates and facilities like toilets). We will not come back.

A great overview of Operation Market Garden, especially in the local context, in the form of displays, vehicles and text and narrated with an excellent audio tour. A great museum highlighting key events in history.

Nice homepage and tribute to Lalique in The Netherlands! Smaller than the museum in France but…read morevery much worth a visit. You'll find jewelry and glass - both vintage and modern. There are even some vintage glass pieces available for purchase! Loved the lighted tulips and perfume bottles especially. Staff super nice and there is an associated cafe across the street that seemed very worth checking out after your museum visit - we had arrived too late to indulge but if it is anything like the museum, you will want to be sure to make a stop

This is the main city theater in Nijmegen. I played two nights here with a touring show and I was…read morenot really impressed. The building is a 1960s postwar build, and I'm not sure how much it has been renovated since then. I don't know what it's like on the audience side but backstage is very small and cramped, the toilets have some kind of problem so that the bathroom SMELLS and the orchestra pit is a very deep and dark hole under the stage. Not ideal at all because you can't see anything that's happening on stage or communicate with them at all! The balconies of the theater hall are decorated with wicker, which I found very odd. I'd never seen a theater decorated with wicker panels before. Maybe it was a much cooler accessory in the 1960s but it just looks super weird. All in all, I am not a fan of this theater. However, as it's the main theater in Nijmegen you won't have much choice if you're a theater lover.

We went back to the Arnhem open air museum for the first time in a few years. It remains an…read moreexcellent open air museum, from the vintage trams riding you around to the historic houses displaying areas from all over The Netherlands and over the ages (including the Dutch Indies) or the quality of the food and drink.

I had the most amazing rave experience in my life at Qlimax, which is held at the Gelredome. I…read morehave to assume that the Gelredome was created specifically for Qlimax. Qlimax has been going on for eleven years in a row. Qlimax is a yearly event for me. The Gelredome is very comfortable. They provide many bars, I lost count how many bars there are. One the first floor no matter where you look on the dance floor there is a bar in every direction. I really liked how easy it was to find bathrooms (many provided) and bars, because when I am raving, I must know where the bathrooms and bars are at all times. They have a nice selection of food in the event your tummy starts to growl. The electric sky also known as the lasers are the most amazing production I have ever experience in twenty years of raving. Please have a look at the attached photos. Can't wait for my next Qlimax and visit at the Gelredome.
