It is practically a no brainer that  the Knowledge Centre for Intangible Heritage Netherlands is present at the Ambacht in Beeld Festival. Practicing traditional craftsmanship or trades is an important domain of intangible heritage. The Knowledge Centre supports artisans in safeguarding intangible heritage, preserving techniques and skills, spreading knowledge, and passing it on to future generations.

During the Ambacht in Beeld Festival, the Knowledge Centre provides information and is happy to explore, through personal conversations, what the Knowledge Centre can mean for your intangible heritage community.

The Netherlands Open Air Museum has a crafts workshop with a wide range of programs for both museum visitors who want to experience the making process themselves and experienced craftsmen and craftswomen seeking specialized knowledge. The offerings include short workshops, one-day workshops, multi-day masterclasses, and lectures by curators and professors.

The Netherlands Open Air Museum and the Knowledge Centre for Intangible Heritage Netherlands work closely together to promote crafts and stimulate knowledge transfer.
