Klooster Ter Apel: rooms with different purposes

Klooster Ter Apel presents monastic life in the rooms of the building itself. The museum description offers concrete ways in through sleeping, working, speaking and religion.

A day in parts

The exhibition on the Crosiers mentions a prior’s desk, a sleeping cell and a lectern niche (spreeknis) in the refectory, among other things. For each element, look at which activity is central. How does the arrangement help you understand that function?

A church within the whole

The Kanunnikenkerk (canons’ church) is part of the route described. Take a moment to notice the transition into this space. What questions does the difference from a sleeping or working room raise for you?

A collection in the rooms

The museum also mentions a changing selection of medieval sculptures and objects from the Helmantel collection. That is a different way in from the displays about monastic life. Read how an individual object is explained and what the chosen room adds to it.

Before you go

Stairs and thresholds limit accessibility. Ask in advance about a suitable route and check the special closing days.
