About
The collection of Museum Dr8888 (Drachten) provides its visitors with an interesting overview of the visual arts from the early twentieth century, with an emphasis on the works created in between the two world wars, a period often called the Interbellum. The core collection focuses on the brothers Thijs and Evert Rinsema, who were introduced to the international avant-garde in the early twentieth century and brought representatives of De Stijl and the Dada-movement to Drachten. The core collection of the museum includes several masterpieces of Theo Van Doesburg, and several other works of the German Dadaist Kurt Schwitters.
