“Misschien is dat het geheim van dit prachtmuseum:
het is als het leven zelf.”<\/em><\/p>

Perhaps the secret of this wonderful museum is this: <\/span>
it is like life itself.<\/span><\/p>Museumtest Dagblad van het Noorden 08-08-2020

Cultural history and nostalgia<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

At Museum Collectie Brands you come across the most varied objects. The collection extends from unique centuries-old pieces through to more or less everyday utensils. A small selection from the collection: Mediaeval monastic work, German emergency money, tableware, weights, tools used by moor workers in the previous century, but also various objects relating to death and mourning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all objects look special or valuable at first glance, but if one looks closer, looks at the beauty of the things as museum founder Jans Brands<\/a> was able to like no other, the objects come to life. Then one sees the maker\u2019s skill, the marks of all the hands that once held the object, and one starts to see the stories behind the objects. They paint a picture of the age, the lives of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is precisely what the Museum Collectie Brands is all about. All these different objects from different times, from Drenthe and from all over the world, have a story to tell. Sometimes a strange one, sometimes an amazing one and sometimes a very recognisable one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
