While Ruinerwold may not have a large number of museums within its boundaries, the nearby cities and towns in Drenthe, such as Assen and Emmen, host cultural institutions that showcase the region's history, art, and natural heritage. These museums provide context to the rural life and landscapes that characterize villages like Ruinerwold.
