Objects for use and for keeping
The museum’s own description of its collection mentions Chinese porcelain and various kinds of earthenware. Notice the relationship between shape, decoration and use. In this way, an object can raise questions about both how it was made and how it has been kept.
Personal connections
Furniture and porcelain that belonged to the poet Roel Reijntjes are also part of the collection mentioned. See how the accompanying information links the objects to a person. That provenance offers a different way in than style or material alone.
Beilen in pictures
Picture postcards and old films complement the objects. Ask which images are available during your visit. They can be a starting point for tracking down a place from the museum outside afterwards.
Before you go
The regional museum guide gives Friday afternoon as the regular opening time; the museum’s own contact information emphasises appointments. Confirm your visit in advance.
