The Museum of Contemporary Tibetan Art is a museum in the Rensenpark in Emmen, at the northeast of the Netherlands near Germany. It displays permanent and temporary exhibitions of contemporary Tibetan art.
The museum exhibits works, varying from wall and flooring paintings, to art pieces like sculptures, tapestries, (thangka) paintings and photographs. Art is being exhibited of various Tibetan artists, like Sonam Dolma Brauen, Tenzing Rigdol, Gonkar Gyatso and Tulku Jamyang (TJ). The museum displays pieces of co-founder Tashi Norbu as well. A version of Norbu's Urban Buddha was temporarily installed in the Rensenpark. Next to a permanent collection, temporary exhibitions are held.
The museum organizes educational activities, like lectures, workshops and live paintings. The mission of the museum is to bring together Eastern and Western aesthetics. In the first two months, in June and July 2017, the museum attracted 5,000 visitors.
Background
The museum was founded by artist and curator Tashi Norbu, who has contacts in the Tibetan artist world, and business director Marjanne Tholen. Around twenty volunteers are involved with the museum. Norbu is a Tibetan from Lhokha (Shannan) who was born in Bhutan. He was educated in thangka painting in Dharamshala, India. In 2000 he went to Belgium and in 2007 he moved to the Netherlands. During consequent studies he earned art degrees at Sint-Lucas (Ghent), the Free Academy (The Hague) and Loods 13 (Emmen). His art was exhibited at the Tibet House in New York, the Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago (Urban Buddha, with a height of 4,5 meters), the Huis van Alijn in Ghent and the World Museum in Rotterdam.
VI History
Grote of Pancratiuskerk
A prime example of a planned city, Emmen arose from several small farming and peat-harvesting communities which have dotted the province of Drenthe since the Middle Ages. Traces of these communities can still be seen in the form of the villages of Westenesch, Noordbarge and Zuidbarge: they have a separate history and layout, but are surrounded by the suburbs and the centre of Emmen.
The expansion of the town did not happen until after the Second World War. Suburbs were built around the old centre of Emmen, starting with Emmermeer directly to the north, and followed to the south-east by Angelslo (for which an old village of the same name was demolished), Emmerhout (famed at the time for being separated from the town by an existing forest) to the east, Bargeres, the Rietlanden and Parc Sandur to the south and south-west. Construction of the last suburb, called Delftlanden, is well underway with a large number of homes already built and people living in the area.
There are few historic landmarks left within the town, but those few include the church on the market square, where a church has been standing since the Middle Ages, the court of law building, dating from the beginning of the twentieth century, and the post office from the same time. In the town's environs an earthwork by Robert Smithson, "Broken Circle/Spiral Hill", may be found.
In 1957 it hosted the 1st Women's Chess Olympiad.
The prime economic booster since the 1980s has been the zoo, the Dierenpark Emmen. Begun in the 1930s, it was almost completely redesigned in the 1970s, and is now co-owned by the municipality of Emmen. It attracts over 1.5 million visitors per year. It was replaced by Wildlands in 2016, when the old zoo closed. Important industries include Teijin Aramid, DSM Engineering Plastics, Wellman and Diolen Industrial Fibers. There are extensive glasshouse complexes for horticulture, especially in the Klazienaveen-Erica area. The municipality offers some 38,000 jobs.
Emmen is the most populous urban area of Drenthe. The municipality of Emmen is one of the largest in the Netherlands, although the area outside the town borders of Emmen is rather rural. The other villages of importance are Emmer-Compascuum, Klazienaveen, Nieuw-Amsterdam and Schoonebeek.
VII.Other information
Sport
The town's football club FC Emmen plays their home games in De Oude Meerdijk. They play in the Eredivisie.
Every year a big cycle racing criterium called Gouden Pijl, where all the big names in bicycle sport come to Emmen for this event. Besides the bicycle race itself the Gouden Pijl also includes cultural events like pop-concerts etc. In 2008 the comeback concert of The Schizo's, the infamous local punk-band from the 1980s, was organised during the Gouden Pijl.
