The Lindenberg Nijmegen Culture House, founded in 1972, was a project opened by the Netherlands Minister of Culture, Piet Engels.[1] It is a cultural house (theatre) in Nijmegen, Netherlands, on the Ridderstraat next to the Valkhof Museum.[1][2] The Lindenberg operates theatre programs, hosts performances, hosts education courses, and has a cafe.[3] The organization also receives a subsidy from the government.[4]
History
[edit]The Minister of Culture, Piet Engels opened the institution in 1972. Initially there were free academies, a music school and a public library. In the year 2000, the Lindenberg was suffering financially. The organization began to generate profits by raising prices for their clients, and eliminating some activities.[1]
The Lindenberg is now one of 30 Nijmegen cultural organizations to be awarded a government subsidy.[4] The Lindenberg also hosts exhibitions which commemorate the history of Nijmegen.[5][6]
In 2018, Teddy Vrijmoet became the director of the theatre. She replaced Ilse Verburgh, who left in 2017.[2][7]
Courses
[edit]The Lindenberg also offers courses for students. Some courses include DJing, urban dance and comedy.[8] The Lindenberg also offers individual music lessons for music students.[9]
Valkhof Hall
[edit]Lindenberg has a large hall which can accommodate up to 1,200 people. The hall is host to lectures, weddings, meetings and workshops.[10]
