Workshop: make your own ex libris book stamp 

Give your books an original and personal touch with your very own ex libris book stamp. The decorative elements in the museum are the ideal inspiration for this workshop.

    Sunday 13 April 2025 from 14:00 to 16:30

A free workshop without booking and where you can also get to know the future museum? Pop into Hof van Arenberg (the corner building next to the museum) and let your creativity run wild.

Personalise your books with your homemade ex libris

Fritz Mayer van den Bergh, the man behind the impressive museum collection, loved books. He marked them all with his personal ex libris: a mark of ownership, mostly in the form of a stamp.  

During this workshop you make your own ex libris. You cut a stamp and shape it to suit your style. The many rich adornments in the museum are a wonderful source of inspiration. Who knows, perhaps you will also be inspired by Fritz' own ex libris…
