In the cloister of the Basilica of Saint Servatius, a dual exhibition is on display in honor of the Heiligdomsvaart 2025, named 'Servaasstad Maastricht'. This exhibition tells the story of the city's patron saint, Servatius, and his significance for Maastricht, based on the 12th-century Saint Servatius legend by Henric van Veldeke, written in the Maastricht dialect.
The exhibition highlights the historical and cultural significance of Servatius for the city, which has been a major pilgrimage destination since the late 4th century.
Additionally, in the cloister, colorful paintings on the theme of Processions by the renowned Maastricht painter-sculptor Wil van der Laan can be admired. These works provide a visual interpretation of the religious and cultural processions that are an important part of Maastricht's history and traditions.
