Museum Dr8888 is one of the leading museums of modern art in the Northern Netherlands and has a special (inter) national collection with works by, among others, Theo van Doesburg, Kurt Schwitters and Thijs Rinsema. These artists represented the international avant-garde movements Dadaism and De Stijl in Drachten.
Museum Dr8888 is located in the former Franciscan Monastery right in the center of Drachten. The collection of the museum provides its visitors with an interesting overview of the visual arts from the early twentieth century, with an emphasis on the works created in between the two world wars, a period often called the Interbellum.
