At the corner of the Hereweg and the southern ring road in Groningen stands the Memory Balcony. This lookout point provides a glimpse of the future of the city and at the same time is a nod to the past.

This art route has been specially put together for the completion of the Memory Balcony. The route takes you along various places south of the ring road that tell something special about the history of the area, but are also often very topical. The south of Groningen has always been an important place for contact with both friend and foe of the city and this is reflected in its rich history.

Audio fragments have been added to various locations along the route. The soundscapes, poems and music fragments bring the past to life. The fragments are 3D audio experiences. To experience this effect properly, we recommend you use headphones or earplugs.
