Schuilkeldermuseum: a visit to the casemate

The Schuilkeldermuseum in Maastricht is the same venue as Museum Schuilen in Maastricht. Beneath the Minister Goeman Borgesiusplantsoen, topics relating to the Second World War and the Cold War are presented.

Plan your visit ↗

A space with a purpose

The underground setting prompts reflection on taking shelter. The museum’s explanations remain necessary to understand how the furnishings and objects on display relate to the periods covered.

Stories and material

Read personal memories alongside the explanations of objects. This gives the shelter several perspectives, without any single experience representing all possible users.

One museum, two names

The two listings do not call for two separate visits. Use the current calendar of Schuilen in Maastricht to find the right Sunday and the limited visiting window.

Before you go

The casemate is reached by stairs and has limited accessibility for visitors with reduced mobility. Open Sundays require no booking; other visits must be arranged separately.
