Nederlands Stripmuseum (Dutch Comic Strip Museum) - Groningen
I recently visited Het Nederlands Stripmuseum and I have to say that it was absolutely amazing! This museum is dedicated to comics and comic arts, and is definitely a must-visit if you're in Groningen.
The museum has an extensive collection of Dutch comics, from old classics to modern titles. It's great to see how Dutch comic culture has evolved over time. The museum also has an impressive collection of original comic art pieces, which are fascinating to see up close.
One of the highlights of the museum was the interactive exhibits. Visitors can create their own comic strips, play games based on popular Dutch comic characters and even dress up in cosplay costumes.
One thing that I found particularly interesting was the section on Dutch political cartoons. It was fascinating to see how cartoonists have used their art to comment on important political issues throughout Dutch history.
The museum also has a small but well-curated gift shop. I picked up a few comic books and souvenirs to take home with me.
If you're a fan of comics or graphic novels, I highly recommend a visit to Het Nederlands Stripmuseum. Even if you don't speak Dutch, the museum has English translations for all the exhibits.
And if you're not sure if you're a fan of comics, this museum is a great place to discover a new interest!
