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.
