Groninger Museum
The Groninger Museum isn't just a museum; it's a visual explosion. Emerging from the canal, its avant-garde architecture, a brainchild of Alessandro Mendini, Philippe Starck, and Coop Himmelb(l)au, showcases a playful clash of styles and colors.

Groningen Hoofdstation (Main Railway Station)
Step back in time at Groningen's Hoofdstation, a stunning neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic masterpiece completed in 1896 by Isaac Gosschalk. Beyond its richly ornamented façade, discover a grand waiting hall adorned with a coffered papier-mâché ceiling, stained glass windows, and intricate tile tableaus by F.H. Bach depicting the progress of civilization through telegraphy, postal services, steam, labor, and time.
