Sense of Place: reveals the unique values of nature
-
public art
We have a lot of space in Friesland. We are the perfect province for landscape art in that space. With cultural landscape projects, Sense of Place reveals the unique values of nature, landscape and cultural history of the special UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea area. Special projects have been developed along the entire Wadden coast, from Den Helder to the Dollard, on the islands and the mainland.
Together with artists, architects, residents, researchers, nature conservation and landscape management, culture in the landscape has been designed in an innovative way. Sense of Place was part of Leeuwarden-Fryslân European Capital of Culture in 2018.
