Inge Weustink

My name is Inge Weustink, and I recently started my PHD project focused on the Luther Museum in Amsterdam and the collection that is presented there. I have been working at the museum since 2021, where I am responsible for researching and cataloguing the collection, as well as curating exhibitions. From the start, I found the Luther Museum a very interesting museum with an intriguing collection and I found myself asking questions about its significance and its position in the broader landscape of religious heritage in the Netherlands.

I decided to frame these questions in a PHD proposal under the guidance of Prof. August den Hollander and dr. Hermine Pool. The work in the museum and my PHD project perfectly combine the different disciplines from my education. I have a background in art history, religious studies and museum studies. Ever since my second year of university, I have known that I wanted to work with religious heritage. I feel very fortunate to now have the opportunity to delve into this subject on a daily basis.
