Forum Groningen
A landmark cultural complex opened in 2019, housing a library, cinema and exhibitions, with a free rooftop terrace overlooking the city.
The Forum is a white building about 45 metres tall with slanted outer walls, designed by NL Architects and opened in 2019. It houses a public library, a cinema, a story museum, interactive exhibitions and a café. Crossing long escalators run through the atrium, and the building itself is a sight to see. Take the escalator to the rooftop terrace on the 10th floor for free views of the Martinitoren and the Old Town's rooftops, a great spot for photos. Located on the east side of the Grote Markt, admission is free (exhibitions and films are charged separately).
