A piece of uniform as a subject
The earlier museum description mentions police caps from various countries, alongside uniforms and emblems. A collection like this offers a way into shape, recognisability and clothing. A cap can be looked at as an object without immediately knowing all the organisations behind it.
From museum to repository
Korpora mentions British custodian helmets, among other items, in the collection. That confirms a new context for the collection, but not free access to all the objects. Ask Korpora about the current options if you have a specific research question.
The station address is a thing of the past
RTV Noord reported that the caps and uniforms had left the former station building on Zuiderweg. Older guides listing visits by appointment in Slochteren are therefore not a reliable basis for an outing. The museum listing remains useful for avoiding that confusion.
Before you go
Closed in Slochteren. A visit to Korpora or access to view objects must be confirmed separately.
