Many exquisite drawings from their youth have been carefully preserved by the family, offering today a unique glimpse into urban life of that era. The Ter Borch family had deep ties to Zwolle, and in 2025, the entire city will commemorate their legacy. The museum will bring together 25 paintings and an additional 75 works on paper from the Rijksmuseum. An unique opportunity to make acquintance with this artistic family from Zwolle.
