Drents Museum, Regional museum in Assen, Netherlands
The Drents Museum occupies the Gouvernementsgebouw building, presenting extensive collections of archaeological artifacts, art exhibitions, and historical objects from the Drenthe region.
Founded on November 28, 1854, the museum began as a provincial institution for antiquities and gradually expanded its collections to include both regional and international exhibitions.
The institution maintains numerous European bog bodies, including the Girl of Yde, offering direct connections to prehistoric communities that lived in the Drenthe area.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with scheduled closures on December 25, January 1, and April 27.
The museum houses the Pesse canoe, dating from 6315 BC, which stands as the earliest known watercraft discovered in the world.
