Het Petershuis: Gennep between finds and art

Museum Het Petershuis in Gennep combines regional history and archaeology with changing art exhibitions. The historic building on the Niersstraat gives the various presentations a shared setting.

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. Listings give different afternoon time slots.
