Plan your visit ↗

Museum and outdoor area

Besides the museum, its own website mentions outdoor grounds and a children’s garden with games. Before your visit, check which parts are available on your date. That way you can decide whether the programme suits your interests and the people you are with.

Rituals as an activity

Dowsing with a divining rod and a wishing ritual are offered as activities. That describes what the provider organises; it is no proof of any special effect. You can approach such activities as an introduction to the ideas and customs presented here.

Ask about the meaning

If you are curious about the subject, you can ask what an object or act means to the provider. In doing so, keep the description of a belief separate from a verifiable claim about reality. That leaves room for interest and for questions alike.

Before you go

The current opening situation is unclear. Opening times have therefore not been confirmed; check the calendar directly with De Heksehoeve.
