De Verhalenwerf: Hoogeveen tells its stories in the library

De Verhalenwerf is a presentation project in Bibliotheek Hoogeveen. Photos, films and memories bring together a wide range of local subjects, without you visiting a separate museum building.

Close to everyday life

The themes described include family, traditions, businesses, music and neighbourhoods. This gives you several recognisable ways in: a street, an occupation or a celebration can be a starting point.

Image and memory

See how a photo is used alongside a story that is told. They may complement each other, but they do not give the same kind of information. The presentation helps you follow their local connection.

A changing subject

The organisation mentions new exhibitions regularly. A guided tour requires contact in advance; looking round on your own follows the library’s opening hours.

Before you go

Free admission during library hours. A guided tour must be requested separately; library services have their own conditions.
