Museum Het Ursulinenconvent in Eijsden covers family history, family trees and traditions. Various collections give the subject a broad scope in the former convent.

A family story as a question

What is kept within a family, and how is a tradition passed on? Take such questions with you as you look around. The presentation covers a wide range of subjects, so first choose a section that arouses your curiosity.

Keeping collections apart

Subjects include santons from Provence, a historic pharmacy, the Ursulines and the memory of Jewish Limburg. African art is also part of what is on offer. Read the explanation for each section; a shared museum building does not turn the stories into a single history.

Tuesday closes earlier

Regular public opening is on weekdays. On Tuesday the visiting window already ends at two o’clock, while the other weekdays are open longer. There is no regular open access at weekends. For other times and specific accessibility questions, get in touch in advance.

Before you go

Check the early Tuesday closing and local exceptions; weekend visits by appointment only.
