’t Schuurke: farm photographs and tools by appointment

In Alem, a private museum combines photo collections of families and farming life with tools and household objects.

Plan your visit ↗

Photographs as a family archive

Look at the caption, date and location, and ask who identified the people. A family photograph can show a great deal, but cannot speak for the whole of Alem without context.

Tools from the land

Signs of use on a handle, blade or tine reveal labour. Ask the custodian to explain which crop or season the tool belonged to.

Museum living room and package

Coffee, pea soup, high tea and a walking route are add-ons by appointment. Be clear about what is included in admission and what is a separate package.

Before you go

No walk-in visits and no fixed schedule. Arrange the time, group size, price and any food directly.
