About the event

Join us as we transform the rooftop of NEMO Science Museum into a vibrant space filled with hundreds of readers for our third ever 1-Hour Reading Rave! This event is free (pay-what-you-like) and is all about swapping screen time for an hour of tranquil social reading. Think of it as a workout for your mind, without the sweat! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ“–

Imagine the scene: 500 people diving into books together on one of the city's most iconic rooftops, phones nowhere in sight. Itโ€™s a chance for Amsterdam to unplug and unite in this unique offline reading rave, all while overlooking the stunning cityscape. ๐Ÿ™๏ธ

In June, over 300 readers gathered on the rooftop, enjoying silent readings accompanied by live guitar music. Participants shared moments of connection afterwards, making it an unforgettable experience. ๐ŸŽธโœจ

What to Expect:

โฐ 1 hour of relaxed (silent but social) reading, surrounded by fellow readers.
๐Ÿ“ต No-Phone Policy: keep your phones tucked away for the duration of the event.
๐Ÿ’ฌ Connect: Stay longer to chat with fellow book lovers. Weโ€™ll provide book-themed conversation starters!
