Leo Gestel’s birthday

Woerden City Museum is celebrating the 145th anniversary of the birth of Woerden-born artist Leo Gestel with a special package including a walk, in collaboration with Gilde Woerden.

The afternoon begins at the Stadsmuseum with a guided tour of the Gestel Room, where you’ll discover more about his work and his connection to Woerden. This is followed by coffee or tea with a treat. You’ll then take a walk along the Leo Gestel Promenade with a guide from Gilde Woerden. The afternoon will end on a festive note with an Oerbittertje, so we can all raise a glass to Leo on his birthday.

The Leo Gestel Promenade pays tribute to the artist from Woerden. The route takes in three significant locations from Leo Gestel’s life, one bust and around 25 reproductions of his work on the façades in Woerden town centre. The walk itself takes around 45 minutes.
