A cart for every job
Look at the wheels, body, handles and carrying capacity, and work out which use the construction probably called for. The museum text can then confirm or adjust the owner, origin and trade.
The funeral cart
In 2026, a funeral cart ties in with ‘Heb het leven lief’. Compare it with a work cart and notice how decoration, dignity and slow transport make different demands.
Zuidwolde through time
The Canon, the TijdReisLift and the scale model place objects within the development of the village. Use the scale model to find one street or function again outside.
Before you go
The exhibition ‘Heb het leven lief’ and the selection of handcarts apply to the 2026 season. No regular opening is listed outside the season.
