Seventy years of history of trans persons in the Netherlands
The exhibition Extraordinary History. Transgender in the Netherlands tells the story of the long road from rejection and prejudice to emancipation and recognition. Seventy years of history of trans persons in the Netherlands comes together in a visually rich exhibition with life-size portrait photographs, film interviews and unique objects.
With personal stories, we show the courage people have (had) to be themselves, against societal images and expectations. Discover the diversity and richness of Dutch transgender history!
