“Museum Piece”<\/h1>\n<\/div>

Late 2015 I was honoured with my own exhibition in\u00a0museum Flehite<\/a>\u00a0in Amersfoort, The Netherlands. The temporary exhibition was about various forms of emigration. The fact that I am considered The Netherlands \u2018first digital nomad\u2019 apparently made me \u2018museum-worthy\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>

It felt so weird to stand in part of the exhibition about me\u2026 I felt truly honoured!<\/p>\n

I had had no idea what to do with my old passports and was about to throw them in the trash when the museum approached me. Seeing them displayed like this, they suddenly felt like treasures. Each stamp is a story of\u00a0travel<\/a>\u00a0and discovery.<\/p>\n

They even put a tv screen playing the video of a documentary made for my latest TV interview (\u2018Digital Nomad Esther Jacobs bij Koffietijd<\/a>\u2018). And they made big prints of some of my\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0pictures of travel, food and other impressions of the life of a digital nomad. The cover of my \u2018Manual for world citizens\u2019 (Dutch: \u2018Handboek voor wereldburgers<\/a>\u2018) was used as a llife-size print on the wall. It was only a small exhibition in a temporary museum display, but the fact that they had selected me to be in it, was remarkable. The word digital nomad was just starting to become\u00a0known to a wider audience; normally museums are about things from the past!\u00a0\"????\"<\/p>\n<\/div>
