Gallery tips for Emmen

• The bookshop corner is curated at Room of Hope. Gallery bookshops stock the art books the big stores don't. Worth ten minutes on the way out.
• Buy local art if you can at MicksArt Gallery. An original from a local artist costs less than you think and means more than any print. Start with works on paper.
• Ask the gallerist. They know the work, the artists, and what's coming next. Most are delighted when someone asks a real question.
• Check accessibility. Older gallery buildings can be tricky. The website usually notes step-free access — check before you go.
