Culture Monitor

The Culture Monitor is aimed at everyone interested in cultural life in the Netherlands and developments in the cultural sector. Policy-makers, administrators, researchers, journalists, cultural practitioners and other interested parties can use this website to learn about and interpret broader trends in the cultural sector. The aim of the Monitor is to provide adequate information for policy and practice, thus contributing to a strong cultural sector. The Monitor therefore responds to the needs of the sector and policy makers to bring together existing and new information, data and knowledge on long-term trends, and current issues.

This publication consists of the English translations of all domain and theme chapters as published in February 2023 on the Culture Monitor website. The most up to date versions of these texts and visualizations are available (in Dutch) on www.cultuurmonitor.nl.
