The NY State delegation consists of Mr. Mark Schaming (Director of the New York State Museum), Ms. Jessica Neidl (Director Local Governance at the State University New York) and Ms. Melissa Branfman (Director of the Wyckoff House Museum).

Their shared mission is primarily to get a better impression of the Netherlands of the 17th century, the period that New Netherland as Dutch colony, the cradle of the current State of New York, was founded. The institutes want to create more awareness of the early Dutch colonial history through exhibitions, programming and exchanges.

The delegation will visit, among others, Museum van Loon, National Maritime Museum, National Archives, Museum of the Canals, Rijksmuseum, and Westfries Museum.

On Friday 4 November, from 15:00 to 16:30 hrs, the visitors will give short presentations on their work and the results of their mission in the Netherlands. You are welcome attend to this free event. For more information, please click here.
