Pasar Leiden

Pasar Leiden, 30 August

This year, Wereldmuseum Leiden and Pasar Leiden are joining forces to organise Pasar Leiden at a new and larger location.  The event aims to strengthen the connection between the city, local businesses, residents, and communities with the goal of sharing knowledge about the Indonesian and Indo culture for all generations.

A new collaboration

In recent years, Pasar Leiden has grown from a festival that mainly emphasises Indo(nesian) culture to a platform that explores the relationship between the Indonesian and Indo communities. The collaboration with Wereldmuseum Leiden offers an opportunity to bring the historical and cultural context of Indonesia, which the museum is rich in, closer to the public.

Pasar Leiden 2025 offers a varied program for all ages and interests. In addition to the usual market, food courts, and music performances, visitors can look forward to: 

  • Culture Corner: outside the museum, there is space for collaborations with cultural organizations, artists, and performers from the Indonesian and Indonesian diaspora. 
  • Lectures and presentations: intimate stage performances in collaboration with the museum, including lectures on the history and significance of Indonesian and Indo culture. 
  • Link to the Collection: Visitors can take part in guided tours of the Indonesian collection of the Wereldmuseum Leiden and learn about the cultural background of the objects that reflect the history of Indonesia.
  • Kids Corner: especially for children, there are workshops such as kite making, face painting, crafts, and Wajang making in collaboration with the museum.
  • Live music: A diverse mix of traditional and contemporary styles, with performances by artists from the diaspora and acts that appeal to a diverse audience.
