From 20 January 2026, you can visit the exhibition Maria Leeft! at Museum Thorn. In the basement, you discover stories, images and symbols connected to Mary. The exhibition is for everyone: for people with faith, but also for anyone who is simply curious. You view the presentation through a digital tour in Dutch, German or English. The exhibition remains open for one year.
In the first room, you learn more about who Mary is. You see how she is shown as mother, virgin and mediator. You also see how her story resembles that of other mother goddesses from ancient times. After that, you discover how people show their faith and feelings. Think of lighting candles, praying the rosary or going on a pilgrimage. Sometimes it is also about very personal rituals.
