Streekmuseum Elsloo: living and working in the Maasvallei

Streekmuseum Elsloo is part of the Historiehuis van de Maasvallei. The former Schippersbeurs (Skippers’ Exchange) and workers’ cottages provide a physical setting for stories about life and work in the region.

Plan your visit ↗

A domestic route

Kitchen, living room, sleeping loft and village shop show different everyday functions. See how the presentation places these rooms in time. A furnished interior is an explanation of the past, not a reason to assume every part was in use at the same time.

The surroundings change too

Regional costume, photos of the Julianakanaal and other regional collections broaden the subject. Choose a link between what is shown inside and the landscape outside. That way the Maasvallei means more than just a place name.

Heat and historic buildings

The old buildings have limited accessibility for people with disabilities; newer parts are easier to reach. So discuss in advance which route is possible. Under the heat protocol, the museum is closed at temperatures of thirty degrees or more. Check before you set off whether this applies.

Before you go

Check the heat protocol and discuss the accessibility of the various buildings before you set off.
