Medisch Centrum Groningen.

Entrance 7
In the UMCG innumerable art
work is admire. There are paintings on the walls on nursingdepartments, in studies, in the
streets and on paces. In the central reception hall and the shop streets there are
statues, on the floors mosaics have been introduced and to ceilings hang lightingobjects.
Also at places where you do not expect it, you find art. There is an art work in each lift
and even in the bicycle cellar a wallpainting has been introduced.
Why art in a medical centre?
Perhaps you astonish that a medical centre so much attention give on art. Nevertheless the
art work in the UMCG has a function. They are decoratively of course, but they have been
especially meant infer the attention of being ill. Art work can call all kinds of
emotions. A painting can move you for example, recall a memory or a glad feeling to
arouse. Art can offer consolation to patients and take them out of their role of patient.
The art work gives also a pleasant irradiation to the hospital and in pleasant
surroundings patients feel themselves rather at their ease. This helps their
convalescence.
Expositions
Artists have the occasion of exposing their work in the UMCG. There are twelve locations
available in the building. There are other exposities each three months, in the UMCG
therefore very regularly new art is of seeing. For artists it is attractive to expose in
the UMCG. There is a general public and the expositions frequently get attention in the
regional media. In the Fonteinstraat you find an overview with the current expositions at
entrance 11 and thereby a belonging indicator.

WILHELMINA, a picture of a
Queen
in Museum Stad Appingedam.
2 July till 2 October 2005
In the 25th jubilee year of
Queen Beatrix an exhibition was present in the Museum Stad Appingedam about Queen
Wilhelmina, the Grandmother of the current Queen. Queen Wilhelmina has a special meaning
for the city Appingedam, the current 'Damsterdag' has its origin in the birthday of Queen
Wilhelmina, namely 31 August.
For years the paper corso could be seen at this day. The Royal House,
the family of Oranje-Nassau, has a long history, originating around 1146 with Walram of
Luxemburg as first count of Nassau. The family knows also moments in which the line of
inheritance becomes in severe danger . Wilhelmina is in more then one respect a remarkable
sovereign. Wilhelmina is in first instance in fact not important at all, there are three
half-brothers who take precedence in the line of inheritance, but they all die in young
age. The passing away of her father, King Willem III, the young age she becomes queen, and
the following period bring great changes in her life. And Wilhelmina stays not less then
fifty years Queen of the Netherlands
In the exhibition the history of our Royal family is made visible. Portraits of
the ancestors and parents, portraits of Queen Wilhelmina, prince Hendrik, diverse
porcelain, photos, etc. etc. A splendid object is a doll's house, a scale model of the
town hall of the city Groningen from 1892, an present Wilhelmina got during a visit to the
province and the city Groningen.

| Unique exhibition in Museum Stad Appingedam
of Groningen 'Ploeg'-member Riekele Prins, etcher of the Groningen Landscape.
On Friday last 11 March is opened in the Museum Stad Appingedam an unique review
exhibition with several etchings and drawings of the 'Groninger Ploeg'-member Riekele
Prins. Works that have been hidden for public for a long time.
This exhibition is brought about in cooperation with the Jan Menze van Diepen
Stichting in Slochteren, the Province Groningen and contains a number of works from a
private collection.
Riekele Prins (born in Kollumerzwaag 1905- died in 1954) is specially known as
graphic artist and was well known as the etcher of the Groningen landscape. In the first
halve of the thirties he followed evening courses drawing and painting from Jan Derksen
Staat in Groningen. He became a member of 'De Regenboog' in 1934, a Groningen Art circle.
A year later he had the courage to give up his life as a workman for that of an artist, he
became photographer and expressive artist. The photography went more and more to the
background, the etching got the front place. The Groningen Landscape became his greatest
source of inspiration. He knew very good how to depict the peace and quiet of the often
empty northern landscape.
Riekele Prins exhibited for the first time in 1938. Together with an number of
other members of "The regenboog" Riekele Prins became a member of the De Ploeg,
around 1950. Riekele Prins got as first artist the Cultural Price of the Province
Groningen in 1951. Riekele Prins died in 1954, 49 years old.
The etchings and drawings that can be seen at this exhibition are of different
sizes and have all a relation to both the city and the province Groningen.
The exhibition can be seen till May 24 this year.

Exhibition
Heimatmuseum Leer
Ist eine vereinseigene Einrichtung, es
befindet sich seit 1936 in der Neuen Strae in einem 1791 erbauten Patrizierhaus und einem
Nebengebude. Schon im Jahre 1912, als der Verein eine im Rathaus untergebrachte Sammlung
des Altertumsvereins bernommen hatte, richtete man in der Haneburg ein paar Zimmer als
Ausstellungsrume ein.
Gleich nach dem ersten Weltkrieg
wird die Burg Eigentum des Vereins. Es wurde fleiig altes Volksgut gesammelt, vieles wurde
von interessierten Brgern gestiftet, und so konnten damals in der Haneburg schon einige
Rume museumsmig eingerichtet werden. Als die Burg 1933/34 einer anderen Zweckbestimmung
zugefhrt wurde, mute das Heimatmuseum zur Neuen Strae umziehen. Hier wurde dann die
Schifffahrtabteilung neu eingerichtet. Im zweiten Weltkrieg haben die Bestnde erheblich
gelitten. Doch im Jahre 1947 machte man sich daran alles wieder zu ordnen und neu wieder
aufzubauen.
Fnfzehn Rume sind im Laufe der
Zeit eingerichtet und nach bestimmten Gesichtpunkten gestaltet worden. Im Rahmen des
Museumsverbandes fr Niedersachsen hat man fr die einzelnen Museen bestimmte Schwerpunkte
gesetzt. Fr das Heimatmuseum Leer ist das einmal die "ostfriesische Wohnkultur"
und zum anderen die "Schifffahrt". So befinden sich eine Reihe ostfriesischer
Wohnrume mit schnen Fliesenkaminen aus der Zeit um 1800 und all dem Hausrat, den
Handwerker unserer engeren Heimat aus verschiedenstem Material gefertigt haben.
Da sind u.a. geschnitzte und
bemalte Mbelstcke, Truhen und Schrnke. Andere Rume zeigen die einfacheren Wohnkchen mit
Butzenwand, Binsensthlen, Steinplattenfuboden und Balkendecke. Auch ein kleiner Laden, ein
"Kruideneerswinkel" mit Tnbank, Kaffeemhle u.nd Einrichtung aus alter Zeit ist
erhalten. Den zweiten Schwerpunkt bildet die Schifffahrt. Mittelpunkt dieser Abteilung ist
ein Fehntjer Tjalk, deren Vorder- und Achterende im Original in einem groen Raum aufgebaut
ist. Desweiteren ist in einer umfangreichen Bibliothek Ostfrisica und niederschsische,
heimatkulturell gebundene Bcher und Zeitschriften vorhanden, die zur Einsichtnahme zur
Verfgung stehen.

condolences"
- mourning, rituals and carriages -
An exhibition in the National Carriages museum, Country Estate Nienoord, Leek

body of the deceased special traditions have developed. Laying out, bringing away,
burying, cremation and commemoration happen in many forms.
Nowadays these traditions are in the focus of attention again. The burial carriage drives
again in the Netherlands! Standard funeral services make room for personal happenings.

the Country Estate Nienoord.
The National Carriage museum gives herewith a "preview" of a selection from the
beautiful collection of the "Nederlands Uitvaartmuseum" that will open its doors

The year 2003 is the "Year of the
farmhouse", with national and provincial a large number of activities.
In the province Groningen the culture-landscape is shaped for an important part by
monumental farmhouses and their farm-yards.

A choice is shown of more then 40 fine
and remarkable paintings, water-colours and drawings on which farmhouses in the province
Groningen has been shown.
Sometimes they stand prominent in the forefront, sometimes the are part of the beautiful
Groningen landscape. The artist found their "models" scattered over the
province, but more so especially on the grand 'Hoogeland'.
From Hendrik Willem Mesdag, who painted
the farmhouse 'Groot Zeewijk' in 1876 in the far north of the province, runs the
exhibition along well-known Ploeg artists (for example Jan Wiegers, Jan Altink and Johan
Dijkstra) till contemporary artists as Francine Schrikkema and Arie Zuidersma.
The works of art come mainly from

| By the eyes of Sabrina and Hassen
Tunisian children paintings about the Dutch history.
Fraeylemaborg Slochteren
16 March till 25 May 2003
The forty drawings in this exhibition
are made by two children of Tunisian descent: Sabrina and Hassen, then 7 and 6 years old.
They show highlights from the history of the Netherlands from the Germans onwards till the
inauguration of Queen Beatrix. The Orange family take up an important place in this
series. The drawings are accompanied by prints, drawings and pictures from the collection
of the Jan Menze van Diepen Stichting.
Sabrina and her brother Hassen, in the
meantime 12 and 11 years old, lived their first years of their lives in Tunisia with their
grandparents. In 1996 they came to The Netherlands and their parents created a kind of
private assimilation course for their children. These 40 drawings are the result of that.
They show an disarming, moving and unique picture of the Dutch history.
The exhibition has been seen before at the Museum Het Schielandhuis in Rotterdam and in
Nationaal Museum Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn.
