Five Years Five Spices

Five Spices opened its doors at the end of 2005 and steamed ahead to 2010. Its five year anniversary was festively celebrated in both Shanghai and The Hague. In Shanghai, the Consul General, Eric Verwaal, opened the festivities at which it became clear that both the Chinese and the Dutch love games and that they are also good at karaoke – at least some of them are! In The Hague, the Museon’s Maarten Okkersen interviewed the designers of the Five Spices Exchange’s five teams and presented them to the guests.
Five Spices looks back at five exciting years of a special creative exchange with China. We now welcome the next five years with great enthusiasm and motivation.
