Behind the scenes tour with Leopold Emmen (part 2)

Free entrance

In November, Marres will host the recordings for The House Where We Used To Live by filmmaker Nanouk Leopold and visual artist Daan Emmen (Leopold Emmen). Their installations explore the boundary between film and space: not a conventional screen, but an experience that physically surrounds you.

Part 1: 7 November 2025

On Friday, 7 November, Nanouk Leopold and Daan Emmen will give you a sneak peek behind the scenes of their film project at Marres, just before filming kicks off the following week. As a visitor, you will take part in the first test takes!

Part 2: 14 November 2025

Then, on Friday, 14 November, once the cameras have stopped rolling, you can explore the set yourself while they share the stories and insights from the shoot.

Leopold Emmen explore the different characteristics of a house and its inhabitants, and how external forces can put people’s lives under pressure. The film tells the story of two women living together in a house, until one day a large group of strangers enters and decides to live there as well. The work will be on view at Marres in 2027.

SOLD OUT!

The Children’s Day Festival is OSCAM’s annual kids’ celebration, all about creativity and self-expression. This year, three locations are participating: Marres in Maastricht, HipHopHuis in Rotterdam, and OSCAM in Amsterdam.

During the festival, children have the freedom to follow their own creative path. They can take part in a wide range of workshops and activities, such as a hip-hop dance workshop by Oxygen, storytime with books from Centre Céramique, crocheting with Maasstitch, crafts, building forts, comic drawing, a poetry workshop, and of course, tasty snacks and drinks!

The Children’s Day Festival is also co-organized by the Children’s Museum directors, who, together with a youth coach, help design and run parts of the program. This gives children a unique opportunity to get involved in the museum world, take the lead, and have a special experience shaping an art festival.

Date:

Sunday 7 December 2025

Time:

12:00—16:00

Location:

Marres
Capucijnenstraat 98, Maastricht
