About

Sonsbeek has a long history dating back to 1949, when Arnhem (and the Netherlands) was in the throes of reconstruction. On this website you will find information about all twelve past Sonsbeek editions. You can learn more about the participating artists, download fun documents like press articles and maps and see which Sonsbeek works have been given a permanent place in the public space in Arnhem. 

You will notice that some data are missing from some editions. There are gaps in the Sonsbeek archive material. This is partly because not every edition is archived equally well, and material that is archived has sometimes been lost at a later date. If you have photos and other documents that are valuable for this website and the Sonsbeek archive, please let us know. Suggestions for improving the website are also welcome. You can contact info@sonsbeek.org. 

Some details such as listing all photographers of the photos will be visible soon. The website is still under construction and part of a growing Sonsbeek archive we are developing with the public.
