Valkhof Museum reopens for town and art

After reopening in June 2026, the renewed museum brings together Roman Nijmegen, town history and contemporary art at the Kelfkensbos.

Plan your visit ↗

A Roman town beneath the town

Archaeological objects place Nijmegen within a long urban history. Read the location and context for each find, and carefully compare material from town, burial ground or military setting.

Art alongside history

The layout seeks links between the historical collection and contemporary work. See whether such a pairing rests on subject, material or presentation, and state what this makes you read differently.

A renewed building

The renovation changes the route and visitor facilities. The café and shop are accessible without a museum ticket, while a time slot is needed for the galleries; Museum Kam has a separate guided tour.

Before you go

Book a time slot. The museum is closed on Monday and also closes on Vierdaagse Friday, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
