NATO and the Netherlands: A Journey
Talking about peace and security together
In the run-up to the NATO Summit on 24 and 25 June 2025, the touring programme ‘NATO and the Netherlands: A Journey’ will be visiting cities across the country, including The Hague, Groningen, Nijmegen, Eindhoven, Utrecht, Maastricht and Alkmaar.
The goal of the exhibition is to engage people in conversation about national and international security. Peace and security concern us all.
