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.
