| Drenthe Museum in Assen, it was very large. Had some special exhibits as well as its own collection which included some Dutch rooms in homes from late 1800's. It is also known for its archeological collection going back to the 8 and 9th centuries B.C. with bog bodies and prehistoric artifacts from the drenthe region. very well done space. |
