Judikje Kiers new director of the Bijbels Museum in Amsterdam

From the museum press release, 14 September 2009

Judikje Kiers, director of Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder (Our Lord in the Attic), will also become the new director of the Bijbels museum from 1 October 2009. The museums will remain separate institutions and will still continue organizing their current projects: Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder will expand and renovate their building, the Bijbels Museum will organize a large exhibition From Jerusalem with Love.

Judikje Kiers has been director of the Museum Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder since 2001. The number of visitors has grown in those years to 90,000, which is the immediate cause for the coming renovation and expansion.

The chairs of the boards of both museums stated that they can both profit from their shared director and that they expect the collaboration to be very fruitful.
