16km - Harderwijk
Marius v. Dokkum museum
About 16 kilometers from Buitenplaats Elspeterbosch, in the historic Harderwijk, you will find the Marius van Dokkum Museum. A place where loud laughter is heard, strangers start conversations over a painting, and children enjoy art as much as adults.
Marius van Dokkum is known for his humorous paintings with a wink to everyday life. His work holds up a gentle mirror to the viewer, without being cynical. The museum displays his most beloved works alongside newer pieces, and regularly Marius paints live in the gallery, so visitors can see him at work. The museum is housed in the former Cutting Room of the University of Harderwijk, a distinctive historic building that, after thorough renovation, received a new and unique purpose. A special and joyful outing for the whole family.
