The Treasure Rooms Stedeliujk museum Twente

From medieval altarpieces and sculpture to seventeenth-century genre paintings, an impressive portrait gallery and the most captivating landscapes. The Treasure Rooms showcase highlights from the museum’s remarkably diverse collection.
The foundation of the collection was laid by the Van Heek family. Its richness and diversity unfold across six Treasure Rooms: the Middle Ages, the Landscape, In Bloom, the Portrait, Silver, and Genre.

The Portrait

Portraits offer a fascinating glimpse into the spirit of their time. From historical painted portraits that embody ideals of civilisation to intimate, close-up photographs revealing the subject’s emotions—portraits transport you to another era or prompt reflection on your own body and feelings.
This Treasure Room features works by, among others: melanie bonajo, Alexander Roslin, Jan Sluijters en Levi van Veluw
