Listen to the installations with fresh ears, as we’ve been working hard to restore Het Klankenbos.
Soon you’ll be able to wander through our open-air museum in Pelt once again. Be inspired by the interplay of nature and sound, or embark on a new adventure with ‘Vlieg’ for children aged 4 and over!
We are holding an official reopening event on Saturday 4 July between 2 pm and 6 pm. Eleven permanent sound installations will be ready to play again by then, and the route will feature a completely new signage system.
There will also be three temporary sound experiences to discover that afternoon. Gemma Luz Bosch is bringing Long Low Slow Baden: an immersive acoustic installation on an inflatable mattress. Sound artist Jochem Baelus is giving his work Het Steen a place in Het Klankenbos: a beautiful sound sculpture in which everything moves just a little slower. And somewhere along the trail, cellist Ceres Lauwers will also welcome you during one2one: a concept where the hourglass determines how long Ceres plays just for you.
Finally, we asked author Winny Ang to develop a treasure hunt for children aged 4 and over. You can discover this from 4 July.
Het Klankenbos is a park in Pelt with eighteen physical and virtual sound installations. Some are there temporarily, others permanently. Its size and accessibility make this collection unique in Europe. The Sound Forest inspires young and old to consciously experience sound and environment.
Het Klankenbos is a collaboration with Provinciaal Domein Dommelhof, municipality of Pelt and Scoutsrally.
