Drents Museum Assen
Cradle of Civilization
There was no room for expansion of the museum within the old monastery complex. However, architect Erick van Egeraat designed an underground museum wing in 2007. [3] The new exhibition space was created just outside the former monastery complex, with a museum garden above it. The new museum entrance was placed in the former coach house of the Drostenhuis. The museum was reopened by Queen Beatrix on November 16, 2011. [4]
t's like wandering around a fairytale bazaar in Isfahan and coming across all kinds of exclusive merchandise. In the major archaeological exhibition Iran – Cradle of Civilization you come face to face with approximately 200 unique finds from Iran. Gold goblets and jewellery, bronze weapons, cuneiform clay tablets and beautifully painted pottery allow you to trace the history of one of the oldest and most extraordinary cultures in the world. These treasures have long been hidden from the western world. A large part has never been shown in the Netherlands before and has never been seen outside Iran before.
