Car Hire Hoogeveen - Mini guide to Hoogeveen

Hoogeveen is a very small town in the Netherlands, so there is not very much to see here if you plan to go here on holiday. The best thing to do is rent a car from the airport, this makes transport to and from as well as around the local sites and towns easy and stress free. However, there is a really cool museum that you will be interested in visiting and well worth going to Hoogeveen for.

The Glasmuseum is a great place where you will find fascinating glass blown things. Glass has pretty much conquered the world since it was discovered in 1500 BC, and you will be surprised when you see the size, diversity, and variations of the glass.

The collection in the museum is a fascinating variety of machinery, both old and new. If you have have ever wondered how bottles or bike lamps were made, you will get to see it all here, and you will see the first machine that made glass bottles. They have an area that is set up to show the production of equipment for a laboratory. You can also see some of the audio visual presentations in the museum about glass, its production methods, and history. One of these rooms is specifically for kids. There is, of course, a room to display all of the unique art, which includes work from many artists. Plus, you can even see a summary of the history of packing glass.

The Glasmuseum has more than just the display of their collection and great historical information. They also give demonstrations of glassblowing, which are at fixed times during the day. You get to hear a full commentary during the demonstration from the glassblower and have an opportunity to as questions and get answers at the end. There is a furnace in the demonstration room that is set at 1,100ºC (2,012ºF). It is kept running all of the time and never turned off. You will also get an explanation on the tools and machinery that is used by the glassblower.
