The museum of the province of Drenthe in the Netherlands wanted to create a vision statement for the future. This was part of an extensive, long term fund raising project. For hypothetical exhibitions on prehistory in the Netherlands Todd van Hulzen created four visualizations. The exhibition spaces conceived would be entirely new spaces, or even buildings, but designed to house the existing collection which specializes in prehistory in the Netherlands, particularly the stone age. They possess the world’s oldest canoe (perhaps the oldest vehicle, period), models of ice age creatures and early man, and a unique “collection” of bog mummies dug from the Dutch peat bogs.
