Museum De Buitenplaats in Eelde, Drenthe, cherishes a rich collection of figurative art and offers a meaningful place for the local community. Originating from the restoration of the seventeenth-century Nijsinghhuis, the museum functions as a cultural heart. With the museum pavilion, gardens and orangery, it serves as a meeting place and stage for performing arts. The Nijsingh House, now an integral part of the museum, is a historical gem open to locals. The museum café, with its seasonal dishes and works of art from the collection, connects the residents of Eelde with art, nature and culture in a unique way.
