Schuilen in Maastricht: an underground display

Museum Schuilen in Maastricht is in the casemates beneath the Minister Goeman Borgesiusplantsoen. The exhibition covers taking shelter during the Second World War and the Cold War in an underground setting.

Plan your visit ↗

Telling two periods apart

See how the display distinguishes the war years from the Cold War. Objects and furnishings have their own context for each subject, even when they are shown in the same space.

Stories from a shelter

Memories offer a different perspective from the built environment alone. Take time for the explanation and do not confuse one person’s experience with the story of all who used the shelter.

An open Sunday

The museum opens on published Sundays and has no daily schedule. Check the exact date, even if you think it falls on the usual third Sunday.

Before you go

The route leads down a staircase and has limited accessibility. On open days you can visit without booking; other options must be arranged separately.
