What do you actually know about an event whose name you may already have heard at school? Museum Slag bij Heiligerlee invites you to take a fresh look at familiar images of history.

Plan your visit ↗

A film as an introduction

The organisation describes a short film in an auditorium in a farmhouse. Use it as an introduction to the subject. Hold on to one question the film raises, so that you can then look at the rest of the explanation with a clear focus.

Room for questions

The wall display covers the world around the battle, what triggered the revolt and the significance attached to the fighting. The museum also emphasises putting familiar representations to the test. So read not only what happened, but also how the story is told.

Take in the landscape

The offering includes waymarked walking routes through De Hoogte and De Garst. Ask which route suits the time you have and your mobility. Outdoors, you can reflect on the relationship between a historical representation and the place where you are standing now.

Before you go

Confirm the visiting address: the sources give Provincialeweg 55 for this museum and 46 for the foundation.
