The exhibition runs from 25 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The English exhibition page still says 24 September and “Coming soon”; the public opening date here follows the museum’s current Dutch page and homepage. The workshop is a separate event. Seat availability has not been confirmed. The Commons photographs have not been identified as part of the exhibition.
