Sometime between 1743 and 1755, a boy grew up in Doesburg. This boy eventually became an explorer and commander under King William V. This is the story of Robert Jacob Gordon. Robert Jacob finds a way to come to our time and goes on an adventure with Lize. Will you join them? The walk starts next to the Arsenal on Kloosterstraat. It takes about an hour to an hour and a half and is also wheelchair friendly.

The Laligue Museum is hosting a temporary exhibition on the famous artist Marc Chagall (1887-1985). The exhibition focuses primarily on his themes: motherhood, women in general, and sirens in particular. His artworks are characterised by a free, imaginative and dreamlike expression. Chagall can rightly be called the greatest colour poet of all time.

The fifth edition of the International Baroque Festival Zutphen will be dedicated to Constantijn Huijgens (1596-1687). Huijgens, poet, diplomat, musician and art connoisseur, was one of the most versatile figures of the Dutch Golden Age. His many travels throughout Europe brought him into contact with a wealth of art and music. His letters and writings repeatedly express his wonder and enthusiasm for understanding and connecting styles. He was a man who knew how to unite politics and art. In the same spirit, the Baroque Festival aims to build bridges between different musical styles, between music of the past and present, whereby old and contemporary music complement each other, between amateurs and professionals, and between performers and the audience.

Every year in July, Verrassend Doesburg takes place, a three-day city festival full of fun activities, performances and music for young and old!
