LUMO

The Lumo Foundation takes its name from the Esperanto word for light. For the Foundation, the light has a central place in the area it covers, because not only the special light of coastal regions but also that of natural, rural plains all over Europe and beyond has enchanted the artists who gathered in the artists’ colonies.

The Esperanto language has a special meaning for Domburg. During the First World War, Belgian refugees found refuge in the seaside resort. Among them the artist Jozef Posenaer and his sister Maria Posenaer, who in 1915 gave free Esperanto courses at the home of the then mayor of Domburg. Esperanto was designed in 1887 by a Jewish oculist and philologist of Russian, Polish and Lithuanian background with the intention of making it easy for people from different cultures to communicate with each other.
