ABOVE & BEYOND
In 2014, the Drents Museum completed a deaccession process for over 5,000 objects from its collection.This project was conducted with the greatest care and in accordance with the Leidraad voor het Afstoten van Museale Objecten (LAMO: guidelines for deaccessing museum objects). Once the project was completed, the objects no longer had any museum value.
Artist Danielle Kwaaitaal took care of several of these deaccessed objects and collaborated with fourteen renowned artists from various disciplines, asking them to breathe new life into these objects. Danielle Kwaaitaal then documented these ‘new works of art’ in a special way. The ABOVE & BEYOND exhibition restores the museum value of these objects and puts Kwaaitaal at the centre of the debate about the future of our cultural heritage.

Most of the museum is easily accessible for people with reduced mobility. Most floors are accessible by elevator and there are wheelchair-accessible toilets. The museum has free wheelchairs, walkers and folding stools for anyone who wants to use them. Unfortunately, part of the monumental section of the museum is less accessible.
Because of the number of wheelchairs and walkers being limited, you can reserve them via +31 (0)592 - 377 773.
More information about the accessibility of the building can be found here.
Supervisors (on presentation of a public transport companion card) and registered assistance and guide dogs are of course very welcome and can enter the museum free of charge.
