Nobilis: printmaking during a pause for building work

According to its own information, Nobilis – Centrum voor Prentkunst in Fochteloo is temporarily closed for an extension. A reopening is expected in the autumn of 2026, but that expectation is not yet a confirmed visiting date.

Works on paper

Nobilis describes a collection of fine-art prints and small-format prints. The centre thus focuses on an art form in which material, printing technique and edition size raise interesting questions for the viewer. Exhibitions show a selection from the collection, not a complete overview.

Keeping the printing block too

Alongside prints, the organisation mentions original blocks and plates from artists’ studios. Items like these can make the making process tangible: the print and the block or plate it comes from are different kinds of object. Access to a specific piece must be requested separately.

Library and consultation

An art library is also among the things described. For research on the collection, contact in advance is necessary, especially during the building period. The usual exhibition schedule will only apply again once the organisation actually reopens.

Before you go

Temporarily closed for an extension. Request research access or a later visiting appointment directly; the normal weekly schedule is not currently in force.
