Lost & Found is a monthly artist salon held in one of the medieval towers of the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt. In the room where Rembrandt’s ‘The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp’ once took place have since 1997 over 80 sessions of stray images and sound been organized. Artists show material which doesn’t fit comfortably into regular gallery contexts; work which demands more concentration than the usual walk-by. Check the Lost & Found website for dates & times.
