The wonderful world of the Leipziger Schule
From 14 October to 3 March, the presentation DMspotlight - The wonderful world of the Leipziger Schule will be on display in the museum's cabinets. More than 20 works by different artists will be shown, all from our own collection.
When does an artist belong to the Leipziger Schule? Artists who taught or studied at the famous Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig are part of the Leipziger Schule. The styles and techniques of these artists vary enormously, but all of them base their work on reality. Realism and craft are central to the German school. Teachers there emphasise technique and students take classes in anatomy, perspective and use of materials.
Neue Leipziger Schule
Step into the wonderful world of the Leipziger Schule. You will see strange scenes, colourful paintings and works that challenge you to complete the story yourself, where it is important to also look closely at the details.

The Drents Museum and the Leipziger Schule
Besides works on canvas, we also present a video in this exhibition, explaining what the Leipziger Schule is, what the relationship between the Drents Museum and the Leipziger Schule is and how this relationship came into being. The film features artists Kristina Schuldt, Rosa Loy, Ulrich Hachulla and general director Harry Tupan.

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.
The Drents Museum always has a number of changing exhibitions and also a rich collection of our own. Our own collection is currently mainly in the depot due to the renovation. That is why our archeology collection (including Pesse canoe, The Yde girl and the other peat bodies), the Drenthe history collection, Art around 1900 and contemporary realism cannot be seen at this moment. We expect Labyrinthia to open sometime in 2024. Click here for an overview of current exhibitions.
More and more objects can be found online. Learn all about your favorite object or discover new treasures!
Registered assistance or guide dogs are welcome in the museum, other pets are not.
Bar Brasserie Pingo can be found in the heart of the old museum section. Pingo's opening hours are the same as the museum, from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Here you can drink coffee and eat cake, however meal salads, sandwiches and appetizers are also on the menu.
