Forum Groningen
Striking architecture bursting with inspiration
In the heart of Groningen's inner city stands the Forum; a meeting place for everyone curious about today's world and tomorrow's possibilities. The Forum aims to surprise and inspire with Storyworld, an enormous exhibition space with changing exhibits, 5 movie theatres, the Smartlab, restaurants, the city library and Groningen's highest roof terrace with phenomenal views and a rooftop cinema.
'Stiknieuws curious'
The Forum has definitely taken its place in the city's silhouette. The striking building, with its sharp lines is 45 metres high, has ten floors and a roof terrace. Escalators criss-cross the Forum's eastern and western sides. Groningers have indulged in commenting on the structure over the past decade. Everyone seems to agree on one thing: the outside makes one "extremely curious" about the inside.
What is there to do?
Talk shows, lectures, debates, films, documentaries, courses, workshops, festivals, parties, exhibitions, several cafés and a restaurant, study and work spaces, meeting rooms, interactive installations and, of course, the city library's collection.
Tip: The very best way to explore the Forum is to just walk in without a plan and be surprised by the well-stocked programme. Join a workshop or talk, watch a film or visit the latest expo. You can find all the current activities on the boards in the main hall.
