Renovations in the museum
We are preparing for the spectacular collection presentation Labyrinthia. During a museum visit you will notice that this is being worked on. On this page you can read what to expect.
Preparations are underway for Labyrinthia, our spectacular new collection presentation. When you visit the museum, you cannot miss the fact that we are renovating. On this page you can read what you can currently expect during a museum visit and what our plans are.
Building progress
Maintenance work in the main exhibition hall has been completed.
Work is currently underway in the historic building complex between the Abbey Church and the new building. Our beautiful Bar Brasserie Pingo has been opened in recent years. Our Abbey Church was also transformed into an exhibition space, where Tilo Baumgärtel can currently be seen.
What does this mean for your visit?
Own collection temporarily unavailable
Our own collection is largely in the depot because of the renovation. At the moment, our archaeology collection (including the Pesse canoe, the Yde girl and the other bog bodies), the Drenthe history collection, art around 1900 and contemporary realism are not on display. Labyrinthia will open in 2024.
Temporarily other routes
Dust barriers have been installed at various places in our historic buildings. The Drostenhuis and the underpass are temporarily closed.
The Largest Doll’s House in the Netherlands is open and can be reached temporarily via a different route.
The abbey church and the cabinets can be reached via Brasserie Pingo.
Dacia - Empire of Gold and Silver can be seen in our large hall from July 7. During exhibitions, the renovation is not noticeable in this room.
