What is your favourite artwork of space in Museum De Lakenhal?
I cannot escape the thought of 'The Last Judgment' by Lucas van Leyden. The very first time I saw this Masterpiece years ago I was sold. The feeling of love at first sight never left.Why do you support the museum as a patron?
Simply because the museum deserves support, I enjoy coming there and because I'm in the position to do so. And because of the inspiring and fun members of the Patronage, connected in their love for the museum, the arts and the need to enjoy a special evening together a few times a year.

What is your favorite artwork or space in Museum De Lakenhal?
'De Groenmarkt met gezicht op de Stille Rijn in Leiden' by Hendrik van der Burgh. It is beautiful to see what Leiden looked like in 1660, viewed from the terrace of Annie's Verjaardag.Why do you support the museum as a Patron?
If Leiden is a miniature version of Amsterdam, than Museum De Lakenhal is a smaller version of the Rijksmuseum. A museum where we as Leideners are very proud of. It is a pleasure to meet others in the circle of the Patrons who are, like us, willing and able to contribute to and share in the passion for this special place.
