We have visited amazing exhibition 1. POMPEI and Herculaneum 2. Drentse veenlijken 3. Poppenhuis Everything is amazing starting with the museum building.

Almost a thousand years ago, Cistercian nuns laid the first stone of the Drents Museum. In 1259 they received permission from the bishop of Utrecht to build a new monastery on the site where the museum now stands

The Statenzaal is without doubt the most beautiful room in the Drents Museum. The hall is lavishly decorated.

Visitors to the Drents Museum nowadays enter through a coach house from the end of the 18th century

Architect Erick van Egeraat deliberately chose the color white for the new building of the Drents Museum. White is neutral, so that the colorful collection of the museum comes into its own. White also provides an exciting contrast to the historic buildings of the museum

The floating stairs in the new building of the Drents Museum weigh 16,000 kilos each and are only attached to the upper and lower floors. The stairs were first tested in the factory in Dokkum

My favorite exhibition is Poppenhuis

In the 18th century, it was a hobby for rich women to make dollhouses. A doll's house in those days was not a child's toy, but a serious matter

a visitor can listen to a lecture by Barbara van Lier's daughter and gossip and slander in the girls' room or smell freshly baked bread in the kitchen. This is how the public imagines itself in Drenthe and Assen in the 18th century
