Art where there was once a church hall

De Kopermolen in Vaals is an arts and cultural centre in a former Lutheran church. Temporary exhibitions and concerts share the same building, so that image, music and architecture take turns.

Plan your visit ↗

An exhibition in a church interior

See how artworks respond to the height, light and sightlines of the hall. A work against a historic wall acquires a different context than in a neutral museum space.

The programme shapes the visit

The exhibition changes and concerts can affect normal access. So check not only the opening hours, but also which exhibition or performance is scheduled that day.

Listening to the space

When there is a concert, notice how the former church hall carries sound. During an exhibition you can experience the same space through silence and the walking route instead.

Before you go

From April to October open Tuesday to Sunday 13.00–17.00; from November to March Friday to Sunday. Closed on many public holidays, and performances may restrict access.
