Had the chance to view wonderful paintings by great Italian painters from the 19th century including Moreli & Manchini. Museums in Florence, Rome etc & private collectors loaned those paintings to the museum. A very well organized exhibition! Rare opportunity to view Italian paintings in the Netherlands

Maallust is a micro-brewery inside the wheat mill of the former Veenhuizen prison. They are active since 2011 and their popular craft beers have befitting names such as “Zware Jongen”. There is also a tasting room right next to the brewery. You can book tours including tasting of the beers, optionally with cheese from the neighboring artisanal cheese factory. Together with the new artisanal snackbar also next door, quite an attractive destination for a culinary expedition!

This is an old transit camp where 102,000, mostly Dutch Jews, were sent off to Auschwitz for extermination. The site has been memorialized in a way which acknowledges the horror of the place and yet is attractive. Very informative and emotional

Went here for a day trip. Really enjoyed the visit. Weather was also very nice. We bought our tickets online, which is mandatory. The movie was extremely dumb, but the exhibits were very nice. Also, we walked outside and checked out the history of the different ages in the area. We also went to S24 which is the largest Hunebed in the Netherlands. Will include a photo. We also ate some food outside. Very limited seating due to Corona, but enjoyed the meal.

Amazing place to visit. We went here for a day trip. Got a map from the information desk. Lots of walking around, but some really nice shops to visit. We went to De Flintenhof and looked at the stones and gemstones they had. Winkel Van Toen En NU sells a lot of garden things. We bought a metal cat silhouette, but they have a LOT! Had lunch at Authentiek Dorpscafe Watmolts. Service was a tad slow and prices were a little bit steep.
