Museum Station Kropswolde: bicycles, pottery and prints

Here a station building is home to several Groningen collections. Historic bicycles make a striking starting point, but they are not the only subject.

Plan your visit ↗

Brands on two wheels

The museum mentions bicycles by Fongers, Gruno, Veeno and Noordster, among others. Compare one part that recurs on different bicycles: a frame, handlebars or brand badge, for example. Which difference do you notice first?

Objects for everyday use

Besides bicycles, the museum describes everyday pottery by Erica and ADCO. Look at shape and decoration together. What use does an object seem to have been made for, and what does the decoration add to it?

Room for prints

Work by the printmaker Nico Bulder is also part of the collection described. Check which parts are on show at the time of your visit; a collection and a current display are not the same thing.

Before you go

Opening is seasonal and irregular. Before you set off, look at the museum’s latest posts.
