CODART NEGEN Study Trip: program
Empty landscapes, fields stretching out into the distance, and a gentle combination of nature and culture: Gelderland, Overijssel, Drenthe, Groningen and Friesland form the eastern and northern provinces of the Netherlands. Their sense of quietness and space makes them seem a long way from the dynamic cultural centers of Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. Castles and manor houses, states (country houses on estates) and borgen (fortified manor houses in the province of Groningen) – they all lie hidden and sometimes even a little forgotten in the midst of forests or on well-maintained country estates. There certainly are some hidden treasures in store on the program for the CODART NEGEN study trip, which will take us to the outskirts of the Netherlands from 14 to 19 March. As well as these hidden collections, the program also includes museum visits. For more information on the collections and locations, with details provided for each day of the program, please see background information.
