From 13.00 to 21.00 the Sophiahof turns into a meeting place where heritage, culture, entrepreneurship, art, music and stories come together. Discover an atmospheric pasar with Moluccan entrepreneurs, enjoy authentic dishes, be inspired by remarkable conversations and meet people committed to the future of our community.

During the day Maluku Fest is an accessible festival for young and old, with activities for the whole family. In the evening the mood shifts and we celebrate together the close of a remarkable exhibition year with music.

Maluku Fest is more than a festival.

With your visit you contribute directly to the preservation, development and accessibility of Moluccan heritage. The proceeds help Museum Maluku realise new exhibitions, educational projects, the digital archive and the collecting of stories for future generations.

Together we make sure our history is not only preserved but keeps growing.

Director Henry Timisela announces his departure: 1 January 2027
“I have always been connected to the Moluccan community. I come from it, and I have known this museum since I was young. I am glad that in almost seven years as director I have been able to make my contribution: the collection was given a place again, there were two commemorative years, and a foundation was laid for digitisation.
