Grenslandmuseum: everyday life on a border

The Grenslandmuseum in Dinxperlo looks at the Dutch-German border from Dinxperlo and Suderwick. Customs, smuggling and cooperation give the subject both a practical and a human side.

A border in objects

Uniforms, documents and customs objects show that a border is more than a line on a map. Look at what actions belonged to checks and passage. Photos also offer a view of the surroundings in which those objects were used.

Changing relationships

The museum also covers wars and cooperation. These subjects call for attention to change: a border can have a different meaning in different periods. Use the information panels so as not to view objects separately from their time.

A visit in season

Opening runs from April to October inclusive, but the daily hours vary within that season. Sundays have a separate arrangement. Groups larger than eight must register in advance; in winter, appointments are possible.

Before you go

Check the month, weekday and public holiday; Sunday opening and the autumn schedule are not stated the same way everywhere.
