National Tin figure museum in Ommen- Holland

nice triangle ...  For me it is like Brussels to Paris.
I'll see to go before my departure to Turkey or on a 10 days return early June, if the cornv-19 is not blocking all travels in the mean time !!!

Oddly enough, Calais to Eindhoven is 3hours, and Calais to Ommen is 4 hours-  although my iPad is also stating 2 hours from Eindhoven to Ommen this does seem rather odd!

ouuuups,


It is located at 175 km north of Eindhoven, some 2 hours drive (speed is limited in, Holland), and 285 km from my home !! at the East of Amsterdam and North of Utrecht.


So not such a small ride !! Perhaps with a visit to a painter Museum too (Van Gogh?) is not too far...

Thank you Nick,


I will try to go and visit it and bring back some pictures, why not a small article, if flats are nice to be known !!!

This Year is the 35th Anniversary of the National tin figure Museum in Ommen -Holland

To celebrate this, the Museum is having an exhibition from some of the top flat figure painters from around the world.
They already have collections of figures by Mike Taylor’s figures as well as from Jim Woodley.

Ommen is a small town 1 hour North of Eindhoven. Anyone attending the world expo this year should try to take a bit of time out to visit this exciting display.
