De Vondst: archaeology after the excavation

De Vondst in Heerlen focuses on the journey from find in the ground to museum display case. Public area, depot and restoration studio bring various activities together, although not all areas are freely accessible.

Plan your visit ↗

From fragment to information

An excavated object requires research and care before it can be displayed. See how the explanations distinguish these steps and why context remains important for a find.

Doing some research yourself

According to the programme, the ArcheoHotspot offers the chance to watch or help with sorting and identifying. Check when supervision is available and which activity is on offer.

Depot visits separately

Visits to the depot and guided tours are by arrangement. Access to the public area does not automatically give access to the storage area or a restorers’ workspace.

Before you go

The hours given come from secondary visitor information; have the current opening confirmed. Discuss depot visits, group guidance and accessibility separately before you set off.
