Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival Groningen
Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival Groningen is the somewhat curious combination of a cutting-edge international art festival and a large-scale summer fest for 135,000 visitors. The heart of the festival is the idyllic Noorderplantsoen (a city park) where, for eleven summer days, a freely accessible festival village appears almost out of nowhere to provide a setting for theatre, dance, music, literature and visual art in combination with eating, drinking and social encounters. Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival will be held from Thursday 21 August to Sunday 31 August 2014. Website: http://www.noorderzon.nl/en

Het Universiteitsmuseum (University Museum)
Since 1934, the University Museum has been a scientific museum in the academic heart of the city of Groningen. Because of its multi-faceted collection, in which nature, culture and science go together, there is plenty to see. The modern pavilion on the ground floor houses temporary exhibitions. Upstairs you will be astonished by the showcases filled with medical models, ethnographic objects, physical instruments and anatomical preparations.
