Het MAG museum: Maastricht glass and ceramics in Ruurlo

Het MAG museum in Ruurlo focuses on Maastricht ceramics and glass. In the collection you can compare shapes and materials that reward close looking.

A shape in glass

Designs by Willem Jacob Rozendaal take an important place within the glass collection. Note the outline of an object before you look at the details. By comparing two shapes side by side, you see how small differences change the whole.

Ceramics alongside

With the ceramics, various designers feature, including Edmond Bellefroid. Read the object information to tell designs and makers apart. The combination with glass offers a good opportunity to look at the same kind of shape in a different material.

A small space

The museum states access with a rollator, but not with a wheelchair. Card payment is also not possible. Groups of four or more can request an appointment for other days; at least two days' notice is asked for this.

Choose a glass object and a ceramic object with a similar shape and look at the difference in surface.

Before you go

Bring a suitable means of payment and allow for the limited wheelchair access.
