Gigantic word search puzzle
On the side wall of a house on Graafschap in the Lunetten district, you’ll see a huge word search puzzle. The mural was made by JanIsDeMan, the artist responsible for numerous other murals in Utrecht, including the now world-famous bookcase adorning a wall on the corner of Amsterdamsestraatweg and Mimosastraat. The words used in this word search puzzle come from stories told by local residents. They refer to special places in the neighbourhood, anti-squat buildings, community parties and fox hunts. You can read the stories (in Dutch) on muurschilderinglunetten.nl. > on the side wall of Graafschap 47
The Utrecht University Museum is currently being renovated. So now that experiments inside the museum are impossible, the museum has put the instructions for all kinds of tests and experiments online so that you can do them at home. You can learn how to create the smell of swimming pool water, for example, examine microplastics or find out how to float something that would normally sink. The instructions are in Dutch, so you will need to do some translating before getting stuck in. > Museum Online by Utrecht University Museum umu.nl/museum-online
