Date: Sunday, September 28
Time: 11:00 – 16:00
Entrance: free with valid admission ticket

The River Maas flows not only through the landscape, but also through stories, memories, and film footage that have shaped generations. Cinema Mosa 2025 presents a multifaceted tribute to this river through film screenings, talks, live music, and encounters at surprising locations along the River Maas.

On Sunday 28 September, Cinema Mosa lands at Bonnefanten, where the ecological art project mini Maas Island De Weerd has enriched the museum’s forecourt since May. For this day, the project will be extended with a varied programme inside and outside.
