1. Dominicanenklooster Zwolle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 52 reviews
This Dominican convent is a place to marvel and contemplate. This neogotic complex is openend in 1901 and consists of a church and monastery. There are Catholic celebrations each weekend and also a lot of spirtual and philosophical activities during the week. This church is daily opend for visitors (tuesday-saturday 13.30-16.30). Special features of the church are the stained glass windows almost all made by a dominican brother. You can see the inspiration of the worldfamous stained glass windows in Chatres in one of the windows. The beautiful mosaic floor in the choir of the church celebrates the creation of the world with the four elements of the earth and the constellations. It's located just outside the citycanals in the district Assendorp at the beginning of the Assendorperstraat. A street with nice shops as well. It's a 10 min walk from the station Zwolle or citycenter and a nice way to see more of Zwolle than only the tourist highlights.

Wow, they have some cool stuff here! Many old computers and of course game consoles, more than we expected. In most cases you can play on the consoles, from old Atari's to the current gen. All that's missing here is some more explanation or history: info is sparse and often illegibly written by hand on post its. A pity, because it's clear that the staff loves the place and that they have some unique items on display: a more professional exhibit would do that justice. There is also a nice arcade hall where you can spend a few fun hours.

The flamboyant museum director Ralph Keuning came up with the brilliant idea to combine the two sculptors Chadwick and Giacometti into one large exhibition, featuring over 150 works (that is including lots of drawings). These two artists really complement each other and although Giacometti is better known to the general public, Chadwick is perhaps the more disruptive and original sculptor of the two. The exhibition is still combined with another special, Goldbrun by Yuri Honing and Mariecke van der Linden. Also top pieces of the regular collection such as Turners "Clouds and Water" and Jan Cremer's "Guerre Japonnaise" are on display. The museum itself is also delightful and almost somewhat self-indulgent with its shameless dome on top of the classical building. Parking is easy in the Maagjesbolwerk garage just a few hundred meters from the museum.

Took an easy train ride from Amsterdam to Zwolle to visit the Ice sculpture exhibit. This was a great experience put on by some very talented artists. Well worth the trip. Just bring warm cloths as it is cold in the building. They require pre-purchasing tickets for a time on line to reduce crowding. This I believe is a smart way to gain entrance. When we went there was no line and you could move through the exhibit at your own pace. Very well run event.
