Every person has a story. A memory that changed them. A lesson they never forgot. A quote they live by. A belief that carried them through difficult times. This is a relaxed and welcoming space where strangers become friends through meaningful conversations. There are no speeches and no pressure to perform..just authentic conversations, curiosity, and connection. Whether you’d like to share a life experience, a personal philosophy, a lesson you’ve learned, or simply listen to others, you’re welcome here. At the end of each meetup, everyone is invited to answer one simple question: “What’s one sentence you’ll never forget?” Together, we’re building a collection of human wisdom “One story at a time.” (Hosted by PASSA Stories - a creative project collecting meaningful quotes and everyday wisdom from people around the world.)
This book club is all about reading more and spending a little less time on our screens. 📚🤍 If you're looking to read more, scroll less, discover great books, and have thoughtful conversations with fellow readers, I'd love for you to join us. Here's to turning more pages, making new friends, and building a community of readers—one book at a time. 🌷📖 A little about me—I’m Muskaan! I’m from India and have been living in Amsterdam for the past seven months. I absolutely love reading, especially historical fiction, fantasy, classics, and literary fiction. One of my favourite things to do is talk about books and connect with people through the stories we read. When I’m not reading, you’ll probably find me walking or cycling around Amsterdam, soaking up the beauty of the city.
Museum of Unintentional Art transforms the ordinairy world into their own museum space. Everything can be art if you come up with a story and put it in an art context like a museumlabel. Our tours challenge people to see the world differently and give value to the things that nomally go unseen.
