Museum de Oude Wolden

Museum de Oude Wolden is an art museum housed in a former mansion near the German border, displaying contemporary art exhibitions and objects related to regional history. The building itself frames the experience and creates a personal setting for the works and artifacts on display.

The museum was founded in 1973 to preserve regional artworks and historical objects from the area. Major renovations improved its ability to display and care for these collections properly.

The museum displays works by artists who created in this borderland region and engaged with local subjects and landscapes. Visitors can see how artistic practice took root in this area and what forms of expression developed here over time.

The museum is open on several days throughout the week for visitors to explore. It helps to check ahead about current exhibitions to make the most of your visit.

The museum maintains a dedicated collection fund that actively acquires regional artworks and historical objects. This focused collecting approach helps preserve works that might otherwise be lost to the area.
