Ceramics and local history

The archaeological collection and the pottery-making past offer a way in through material and use. See what the explanations say about origin and dating. A pot or shard can prompt a focused question without immediately revealing a complete life story.

Maps and models

Historical maps, prints and scale models add an overview. Compare how a model, of a farm for example, shows something different from a found object. The changing art exhibitions can also offer a subject entirely of their own.

Free, with one limitation

Regular admission is free and a donation is appreciated. There is a lift, a ramp and accessible toilets, but the cellar is not wheelchair accessible. Check the current hours for your date, as listings give different afternoon time slots.

Before you go

Check the current afternoon schedule and allow for the cellar, which is not wheelchair accessible.
