'Silver in Groningen'
Until 29th May 2011
For many centuries, Groningen was an important city for silverware. Skilled silversmiths had a good market in this wealthy city and in the prosperous surrounding countryside. The exhibition presents beautiful silver objects that were made in Groningen from the late 16th century until well into the 20th century. Older silver has scarcely survived. Attractive brandy bowls, supper silver, beakers and coffee urns, candlesticks and teapots are all on display. There is even a silver Martinitoren (church spire).
Opening Hours: Tueday to Sunday 10am-6pm. Closed Mondays
Admission: Adults € 12, 65+ € 11
