Wooden Pipe Day

25 March 2025

At the invitation of Professor Hans Piena, we visited the CCNL today, the Collection Centre NetherLands, where the pipes and pipe cases from the Wiegersma collection were displayed. This general practitioner from Deurne in Brabant collected folk art objects almost a century ago. In 1956, his entire collection was purchased by the state. It was our pleasure to view the smoking-related objects and to learn what could be collected in this area in East Brabant at the time. Objects at the crossing of art, folk art and folk peculiarities, it was an educational visit.
